May 20, 2022 – Annual Golf Outing, save the date!
IFMA Central Iowa’s Golf Outing serves as an avenue to support a local charity every year. This year our donation was presented to Mike Lowe of Meals for the Heartland on August 10th by Kirstin Baer-Harding, Kevin Nicolet, Heather Rumsey, and Jessica Cunningham. Many thanks to our 2021 Golf Outing Sponsors JLL, JB Roofing and First Onsite.
IFMA Central Iowa members and guests got an “Inside Peek” at the renovation work being completed at Hotel Fort Des Moines Curio Collection by Hilton. The Hotel is being renovated to return to the 1919 architectural design work of Proudfit & Bird Architects, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The theme focuses on numerous historical moments in Des Moines as they relate to events that have taken place at Hotel Fort Des Moines.
Chapter members and friends met June 8th at Wellman’s Pub and Rooftop in West Des Moines to enjoy conversation and talk about Central Iowa Chapter member benefits and upcoming events. 2021 Chapter officers were also installed: President – Kevin Nicolet, Vice President – Kirstin Baer-Harding, Secretary/Treasurer – Tony Schmalz, and Past President – Lisa Schettler.
