Letter from David Suter, President of IFMA San Diego
|
|
 Dear San Diego Chapter Members,
I want to first thank you for your continued trust in the leadership of the San Diego Chapter, and for allowing me to guide this amazing Chapter for this next year. I also want to thank our outgoing President, Lisa Chappell, for her dedicated leadership over the last 2 years. Under her direction, this Chapter has made tremendous strides in connecting with our members by providing more regional and FM focused events. She will remain active not only on the Executive Board as a mentor, but will maintain her role as the Co-Chair of the Education and Professional Development Committee and the Fireside Chats Committee.
