NAFEM 2025 brought the MAFSI family together again! Our Membership Meeting set the stage for big things ahead, and our cocktail party was the perfect way to celebrate the connections that drive this industry forward. A special moment as we passed the torch from Neil Inverso to our new MAFSI President, Stephanie Perry. Cheers to new leadership, new opportunities, and the same unstoppable spirit that defines MAFSI! 🍾 #MAFSIMomentum #WeAreMAFSI #IndustryLeaders #NAFEM2025
