Happy New Year!! The beginning of the New Year is also a time to reflect on the past year's triumphs and trials, and what we hope to achieve in the year to come. We are hoping to help you make the winter fly by, with all of the exciting events at the Boston Chapter of IFMA and our community. Join us for a year of wonderful educational events, monthly programs at top local area facilities, all of which are free to our members, and great networking. Add to that, special events like our Awards of Excellence, Golf Outing, and Holiday Gala and you have a vibrant group of professionals, willing to help our fellow professionals wherever possible. Our first seminar takes place on January 16th, "Sustaining Sustainability", followed by "Financial Modeling" on January 24th. Please visit our website at www.ifmaboston.org, and check our calendar for future events. We're here to help you make the most of your membership, and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming events. Sean Murphy is the president of the Boston chapter of IFMA, Boston, Mass.
