Get ready—CFI Board nominations are coming soon! Two exciting leadership opportunities are opening up for current members: Secretary/Treasurer and President-Elect. This is your chance to step into a leadership role and make an impact! Becoming a Board Member is a chance to take a more active role in shaping the future of the cleaning and restoration industry.
As a Board Member, you will help guide the direction of CFI itself. From developing new educational programs and community events to supporting innovative and effective chapter meetings, your input plays a critical role in the organization’s ongoing evolution. Your leadership can help shape and strengthen the organization and ensure that CFI remains relevant in a changing industry, all while collaborating with a dedicated team of peers who share your commitment to raising standards and building community.
Serving on the Board also enhances your visibility and credibility within the profession. It opens the door to industry connections, new opportunities, and personal growth, as well as making a tangible impact through membership education, mentorship, and industry advocacy.
And the best reason…becoming a CFI Board Member allows you to contribute to an industry that may have helped launch or support your career. Many members choose to serve because they want to give back to a community that’s helped them grow—whether through mentorship, classes, networking events, or business opportunities. It’s a way to pay it forward and offer future professionals access to the same resources.
If you’re ready to contribute your expertise and help lead the CFI, we encourage you to explore this rewarding opportunity! Whether you are a past Board Member or brand-spanking-new to Board service, don’t be nervous about volunteering! The CFI Board works as a TEAM to educate and support each other in their Board roles!
The current CFI Board members, Jessika, Roby, Kim, Edgar, Jose, and Barry, invite you to learn more by connecting with one of us by visiting www.CFIConnects.org. Or, feel free to email me at President@CFIConnects.org and we can set up a phone call to talk about this exciting and fulfilling leadership path… Don’t hesitate if you’d like to connect!
