Spring is knocking on the door and so are next fiscal year’s budget requests. This month CSMFO news will focus on asset management and financing with a sprinkle of session topics, memories, and fabulous pictures from the 2020 annual conference.
In snail mail, but worth the wait, all members will receive a printed 2020 Conference magazine. The magazine will take you back to Disneyland by highlighting conference events, remembering wise words from keynote speakers, pre-conference sessions, reliving late night fun, honoring award recipients, and so much more. Enjoy recalling all the magical aspects of the 2020 CSMFO Conference and don’t forget 2021 in San Jose.
If you have an article idea, please email us at communications@csmfo.org. The Communications Committee is here to serve CSMFO membership by providing relevant articles and information.
May you find inspiration among the articles of this month’s CSMFO news and continue to prosper in your organizations. Of course, we can’t forget we also have Saint Patrick’s Day and the first day of Spring to keep us company in March.
