President's Report
Dear IFMA San Fernando Valley Members,
Dear IFMA San Fernando Valley Members,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying the start of summer. Thank you to everyone who helped make our Golf Tournament special and for attending our combined chapter event on Artificial Intelligence on May 15th. Be sure to check out our Golf and May Chapter Program photo galleries, which contain hundreds of photos.
Our Summer calendar was brimming with exciting experiences, from our Comedy Event filled with lots of laughs, to our Board Installation in July, plus our annual WineTasting event that’s one of our members’ favorites.
I also wanted to give a huge shoutout to Tyson Humpherys for earning his Facility Management Professional credential in May. Congratulations, Tyson!
Take a look at our New Member Spotlight, which we will feature each month on our website. In July, we are featuring Tony Yadeo, who has been a member of IFMA for many years but joined our chapter in June and is now the Membership Chair. You can learn more about him in his bio.
As always, thank you for your continued membership and support. Your participation is what makes our association thrive. I eagerly look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
Warm regards,
Dawn Howell
IFMA San Fernando Valley President
