Our own Denise Radcliff, CFE, offers her insights: “I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the program. One of the requirements is attending a certain number of IFA sponsored conferences and those proved to be invaluable. I met so many interesting people from different backgrounds and experiences. The conference speakers provided a wealth of knowledge and my tablemates provided great discussions on the topics from their unique perspectives. The experience was a game changer!”
