2022-2023 Strategic Partners
Our Strategic Partners are an integral part of our chapter, providing funding, knowledge sessions, and Board input. We seek to leverage their broad reach within our community to help grow the chapter membership as well as our expertise on regulatory and financial topics. With their generous support, we can continue our commitment to our members to provide meaningful programming throughout the year. When you require business services, please look to this list, and give our partners the opportunity to meet with you. Support their businesses in any way you can.
The program year is substantially in place. I hope you will mark your calendars and plan to attend all the exciting events. Reach out and invite your qualified colleagues to attend our dinners as a guest, those who will add value and diversity to our collective. I am certain that the more you become more involved, the more value you will derive from your FEI membership. It is because of you and for you that FEI exists.
Please know that our venue costs have increased. To tightly manage our membership dues, the need for timely registrations and cancellations is more important than ever. If you have registered for an event and are unable to attend, we ask that you keep us informed, so we can anticipate our attendance accordingly. Please also be sure to register early, as capacity for some of our events will be limited.
Today, more than ever, the key to our success is our presence on social media. Join our LinkedIn group by

Our chapter is always looking to improve! Your suggestions are very valuable. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time if you have feedback or ideas to share.
Serving this great chapter, as a Board Director or Officer is something I have done for more than 12 years. I look forward to celebrating and sharing our chapter’s bright future with you.
Thank you again for your participation and support of FEI.
Sincerely,
Nancie Stoddard
