Leadership Within The Chapter
Each year, IFMA Boston hosts a leadership summit, bringing together all of their chairs and co-chairs for a half day of networking, brainstorming, and best practices. This year was planned and hosted by volunteers Tom Hammill of WB Meyer, Jennifer Piazza, CFM of Harvard Radcliffe Institute, Catherine Stone of Skanska, and Carissa Kelly of Harvard Medical School. It brought together at least one volunteer from each of the committees across the chapter. They discussed diversity within the industry and the chapter, how to boost engagement in online programming, and reviewed the roadmap to leadership within the chapter. The group is looking forward to an opportunity to gather in person soon!
