President's Report
Dear Members,
October was an extraordinary month for the Central Ohio IFMA chapter, and we’re excited to share our recent highlights with you!
A Successful Trip to IFMA World Workplace in San Antonio
A large group of Central Ohio IFMA members had the privilege of attending the IFMA World Workplace Conference in San Antonio. This annual event provided an incredible opportunity to connect with industry peers, gain valuable insights through educational sessions, and explore the expansive trade show.
We were fortunate to kick off the week with an inspiring keynote address by Emmitt Smith, who shared his journey and experiences in transitioning from a professional athlete to a successful real estate entrepreneur. His story was a powerful reminder of the importance of perseverance, vision, and adaptability.
Membership Drive Success
We wrapped up the month with our largest membership drive to date! Hosted at The Fairway in Upper Arlington, the event brought together members and prospective members alike to celebrate the value of our community. The evening was filled with great conversation, networking, and camaraderie. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this drive a resounding success.
