CFMA Blue Ridge

It was a great week for a couple chapters in Virginia of CFMA. I attended two events, an election recap with CFMA Central Virginia on November 19th presented by the Associated Builders and Contractors legislative affairs group in Richmond and an economic update with CFMA Blue Ridge on November 21st presented by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in Afton, VA. CFMA is one of the associations that has had the greatest influence on my career. I don't think there is another industry association that brings more value with their membership. If you are interested in hearing about what member benefits are associated with CFMA, please reach out. You will not be disappointed. Benefits include free webinars, member discount programs, peer group connections, an open discussion forum, and a bi-monthly magazine that provides in-depth articles and practical takeaways on topics including accounting, tax, risk management, technology, and more.

We still have a few seats available for our Economic Update with Sonya Waddell, from The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond! Where: Blue Mountain Brewery, Inc. When: Wednesday, November 20th 4 p.m.- 7 p.m. Registration: https://lnkd.in/g_FmEwZk

Toye works for Dominion Risk Advisors, Inc. which offers expert guidance to contractors, helping them navigate industry-specific risks with tailored insurance and risk management strategies.
