STAY CONNECTED
WHEN YOU CAN'T CONNECT IN PERSON
THROUGH IFEA'S VIRTUAL AFFINITY GROUPS
Featuring discussion by and between some of the top professionals in our industry today, IFEA's Virtual Affinity Groups provide a platform to keep the connections, brainstorming and networking going. When solutions cannot be listed, templated or easily provided, the power of sharing and networking between professional peers become our most valuable and trusted resources. IFEA Members, join us to listen-in, and/or participate-in, on these valuable discussions.
This is an IFEA Member Only Benefit. Must be an IFEA Member to participate. Learn more about IFEA Membership
