IOFM Chapters coming soon...

IOFM has announced the launch of IOFM Chapters in 2017.

Chapters will allow for greater in-person networking. Sometimes it's who you know (other times it's what you know) that helps you get things moving in your career. In this case, it sounds like the best of both worlds.

"IOFM's Chapters will host quarterly meetings designed to help you develop professionally with the support of the IOFM community behind you!

IOFM's goal is to give you a place to meet, collaborate, and share best practices with local financial operations professionals like yourself." - Victoria Ryder
