In Memoriam
Alan M Langley (17 Sep 1944 ~ 13 Jul 2019)
Elaine Vegotsky has brought us the sad news that Al passed away this past Saturday.
Al will be remembered as one of the

Association for many years. He served as its Executive Director for 17 years before retiring in May of 2015. He was passionate about the ACFI. He got it up and running and put a lot of his energy into making it successful.

May he rest in peace.
