Happy New Year!
I hope that you enjoyed the holidays with your family and friends and are entering 2025 rested, recharged and ready to take on new challenges. This time of year is a wonderful time to reflect – both on our successes from 2024 and our plans for 2025 and beyond.
If your resolutions are set – I wish you well on your journey of self-improvement!
For those of you still searching for a resolution, I would encourage you to consider prioritizing your career development in the new year. FEI provides a wealth of opportunities to accelerate your career and broaden your network. From online webinars, in-person seminars, virtual and local networking opportunities, and more. If you’re not familiar with the benefits of your membership, please take some time to peruse the FEI website.
If you are like me – CPE credits are important, and FEI offers many ways to satisfy your yearly CPE requirements. My personal favorite is our monthly chapter meetings – where you can connect with local finance professionals and learn from experts in the area. I hope to see you at our M&A panel event on January 22 or our 2025 economic update on February 10.
While you charge ahead on your career path, I would also encourage you to make time to support your mental and physical health. Spend time with your family and friends, travel to new places, and do things that bring you contentment and joy. I hope that you all have a blessed 2025 and look forward to connecting with you in person at an upcoming event!
Sincerely,
Shirley Risen
Chapter President
