FEI Tampa Bay members, sponsors, and friends,
As we embark on the second quarter of the year, it’s the perfect time to look at the data from the first part of the year and adjust our sails for the journey ahead.
This month, I want to encourage each of you to do a strategic "pulse check." While our Q1 reports give us the hindsight to see where we’ve been, it is our collective insight that will determine where we are going. Our profession thrives on this balance of information and insight.
That is why I find our monthly chapter meetings to be so valuable. In addition to hearing from experts on topics such as AI, the economy, tariffs and more, these meetings are a great place to connect with your peers and share challenges and best practices. There is simply no substitute for the wisdom shared between peers when the market is in flux.
At the national level, FEI also provides many valuable resources – from
webinars to
live events and
online discussion forums. If you’re navigating a difficult period for your business, I encourage you to seek out expert advice through FEI. Together, we can tackle whatever challenges Q2 brings our way.
If you are not yet a member, there is no better time to join a community that helps you stay ahead of the curve. I encourage you to register for our May and
June events and come see firsthand how valuable peer-to-peer networking can be in times like these.
It’s my honor to serve as your president!
Sincerely,
Shirley Risen
Chapter President
