A MESSAGE FROM SUZANNE

March 7, 2025 - Are you looking for ways to expand your professional network and contribute to FFEA? Our FFEA Committees are in Full Swing! Volunteering is a fantastic way for members to grow both personally and professionally. It provides valuable networking opportunities, allows you to collaborate with industry peers, and gives you a voice in shaping the future of our industry and our Association. 


Committee service also enhances leadership skills, offers fresh perspectives on event planning challenges, and helps strengthen the community of professionals dedicated to creating exceptional experiences. Plus, it’s a great way to give back, make meaningful connections, and leave a lasting impact on the industry!


We would love to have you join our team! You can see the list of Committees and meeting times HERE - reach out to me if you are interested in being added to one or if you have any questions.
