IFMA-CT NEEDS YOU

We want YOU!!! Your expertise is needed. One of the goals set by the Chapter’s Strategic Planning Committee is to expand the number of people on each of the Chapter’s committees.

We have eight Committees that could use your ideas and participation. We have Committees to meet all your areas of interest and areas where you wish to learn and grow in knowledge. The Committee Chairs are enthusiastic and would be excited to talk to you and give you a brief overview of how their Committee functions and how you can become a vital member. Serving on a Committee is a great way to meet new IFMA members and to grow friendships with IFMA members with whom you already are acquainted.

If you would like more information on any of the committees, click on the Committee Chairperson’s name to send them an e-mail and they will get in touch with you.

We want our Chapter to continue to grow and you are an important factor in that growth.
