Now is the time to renew your 2011 REFA membership

If you haven't renewed your dues for 2011 - the time is now! We will be moving all unpaid members to a non-member list in March. This means if you want to attend future programs you will pay the higher non-member rate. By not renewing you would also miss out on all of our Member Only Events such as our Networking Socials, Town Hall Meetings and REFA's invitational Golf Tournament. Renew online at www.REFACT.org or contact our executive office at 860-243-3977 and speak with Sharon or Mary. "As a past president of our Fairfield Chapter, I can tell you that I have not been able to match the value of my REFA membership with any other organization. I guess that is why our membership continues to grow and REFA remains one of the strongest professional organizations in our local market. There is no value that can be placed on the connections we all can make." - Jeffrey Gage, managing principal, CresaPartners UPCOMING PROGRAMS March 10, 2011 - Fairfield/Westchester Chapter - Bob Lieber, executive managing director of Island Capital Group and until recently, the deputy mayor for economic development in New York City under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, will discuss the direction of the real estate capital markets.
