A Message From Our President - December 2019

Wow. It’s been a spectacular year for FEI Tampa Bay. We kicked off our 2019 – 2020 program year with a bang and haven’t slowed down since.
 
In November, our chapter visited MarineMax and had the opportunity to tour some incredible boats and hear from their local leadership. We also had our annual “Clays for a Cure” sporting clays tournament. The weather held out and it ended up being a great day, for an even better cause. We then wrapped up the year with our holiday social at Tampa Yacht & Country Club.
 
The programs this year are off the chart, and I hope that you’ve all been able to attend at least one of our monthly meetings. These meetings are a great place to meet fellow finance executives, learn from local businesses, and earn CPE credits.
 
As we reflect back on 2019, I want to take a moment to thank our Programs Committee Chair Alyssa Belcher for her hard work in planning these events. She’s done a fantastic job this year getting our chapter an inside look into local businesses and hearing from some of our area’s leading professionals.  Also a special thanks to Brian Adamski for organizing another great “Clays for a Cure” event.   
 
Be sure to mark your calendar for our upcoming events, starting with the M&A Panel at the Hilton in January. We’ll also visit Tampa International Airport in February, and Steinbrenner Field in March. You don’t want to miss these, so mark your calendar!
 
As the holiday approaches, I hope you all take the time to reflect on your accomplishments this year and take a well-deserved break. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support of our chapter.
 
Happy Holidays!
 
Joanne Dempster
FEI Tampa Bay Chapter President
