- Chapter membership increased to 178 members during March, and with
the ratio moving to 76 to 24 percent, professional vs. associate, the
chapter has been able to take three additional companies off the waiting
list.
In an effort to make new members more familiar with all IFMA has to
offer, a series of New Member Breakfasts will be conducted throughout
the year on a quarterly basis.
The first New Member Breakfast will be at 8 a.m. April 25 at Panera
Bread at Olentangy Plaza, and all new members since the first of the
year are invited to the event to meet board members and to be officially
welcomed into the chapter. These new members will receive invitations
by mail.
Subsequent quarterly New Member Breakfasts will be held July 24, October
23, and January 22, 2002. Times and locations will be announced nearer
to these dates.
The committee set dates for its meetings for the remainder of the
year. The next Membership meeting will be12: 30 p.m. April 25 at the
Olive Garden at Sawmill Rd. and I-270. Other meetings will be conducted
