CFMA Chicago Bimonthly Newsletter

July 2019

Letter from the President

You know the old adage, 'a picture is worth a thousand words'? It generally means a picture tells a story just as well as, if not better than, a lot of written words. This month's newsletter will put that theory to the test; looking back over our programs and events of the first half of 2019 through a series of photos. I hope you enjoy looking through the photos included below, and appreciate, as I did, everything we have accomplished over the past seven months.

Many describe a day on the golf course as a 'picture perfect day'. Whether you are an avid golfer or looking for a fun day with your CFMA colleagues, we hope to see you on August 29 at Maple Meadows Golf Club for our annual outing. Foursomes and a few sponsorships are still available. More information can be found below.

Soon summer will be over, kids will return to school, and that means the Midwest Regional Conference is right around the corner. Picture yourself earning up to 7.5 hours of CPE and networking with more than 150 industry representatives. We are thrilled to once again partner with six other Midwest chapters to offer a day packed full of education, CPE and networking. Information on registration and a link to the agenda are included in below.

Did you know we post photos on our chapter facebook page? Take a moment to Like Us to stay up to date on upcoming events and be among the first to see event photos; many often posted the same day.

In closing I would like to leave you with one more image that speaks volumes about our chapter and members ...

Congratulations to our chapter leadership, volunteers and of course, our members, who make it possible for our chapter to achieve this level of excellence.

Tamara Kilty
