President's Report
|
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the State of the Union event! For those who couldn’t attend, we missed you and look forward to seeing you at future gatherings.
At the event, we highlighted some of our significant accomplishments in 2024, including the successful integration of QuickBooks, the creation of a co-chair position, the launch of the new golf committee, and the upcoming return of the FMP class in February 2025. These achievements mark a year of growth and innovation for our organization.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are thrilled about the possibilities on the horizon, including the potential addition of a President-Elect and Treasurer Co-Chair positions, the upcoming FMP class, and the awarding of scholarships. We also look forward to providing more tours and educational opportunities from our Platinum sponsors.

Community Service

Last month, the IFMA Central Ohio Chapter partnered with The Salvation Army to support families in need this holiday season. Volunteers helped parents select toys and gifts for over 10,000 children, ensuring a special surprise from Santa.
Parents expressed immense gratitude, as for many, these were the only gifts their children would receive. Once shopping was complete, cars were loaded, and the gifts were delivered to spread joy and hope.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
