Sharing a few photos from the reception following the installation ceremony in Chicago. The evening brought together colleagues and friends from across the country to celebrate the newly installed NFDA Board of Directors. It was especially meaningful to see so many familiar faces from Connecticut and Rhode Island gathered in support of this incredible moment.🌟
