IMFA Boston Membership

How can I get to know fellow IFMA Boston members better?

Attending monthly meetings will give you an opportunity to meet other members and ask about committee involvement. You will get to know your fellow committee members, and have the opportunity to interact with members more closely. Committee involvement is a special member benefit of the Boston Chapter and the best way to create business relationships. 

If you are interested in learning more about volunteering on a committee please contact the office.  Committees need volunteers to help with on-going work and welcome short term volunteers for small projects. Whether you have lots of time or an occasional hour to spare, your involvement will benefit the IFMA Boston Chapter, its members as well as you and your company.
