FFI On Friday | November 24, 2017
Prepared Exclusively for FFI Members
From the FFI chair
Dear Colleagues,
It was my pleasure last month to meet more than 350 FFI members from around the world at the annual global conference in Chicago.
Prior to the conference the board had a mid-year look on where we are with our strategic planning, welcomed new board members and elected officers for the coming year. At the conference itself, we were privileged to hear the insights of keynote presenters Helen Fisher, Paul Carbone, Marco Tempest and Craig Aronoff. We also presented a number of awards and honored outgoing FBR editor, Pramodita Sharma, and welcomed incoming editor, Tyge Payne. And much more.
Playing off the old axiom that a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some photos:
