What do IFI Members find most valuable? Our priority is, first and foremost, our members. At IFI, we provide valuable benefits to a unified community of industry professionals looking to grow their connections and stay out in front of the industry's issues. When we ask our members what aspect of membership they value most, this is what we commonly hear: - Networking: Through meetings and events, our members can connect with other industry peers and suppliers to have formative discussions. - Advocacy Efforts: IFI actively participates in lobbying, on behalf of our members, to better the fastener industry and stay ahead of the curve. - Technical Knowledge: With years of experience, IFI's expert staff and technical committee provides all our members with the information and technical knowledge to succeed in an ever changing market.
