May 2025 Newsletter

It’s been a breath of fresh air—literally—as spring is in full swing here in the city. With the warmer weather and longer days, I’ve felt more motivated to get out and connect, and it’s a good reminder of how valuable it is to build and nurture our personal networks. FEI is such a great place to do that!


We’ll be rolling out our Fall events soon, but in the meantime, don’t miss the next two coming up—great opportunities to reconnect and engage.


Also, just a quick reminder: we’re still looking to grow our Membership, Young Professionals, and Programming committees. If you’re interested in getting involved, just reply to this newsletter—we’d love to have you on board!
