We are born curious and that curiosity propels us as we reach for and gain new levels of understanding and competence in the world. Curiosity is the engine of continuous improvement, critical thinking, and achievement. When we pursue our curiosity in our interactions with others, we build relationships and can lead with emotional intelligence.

Which is why this year's theme is "The Pursuit of Curiosity-Your Blueprint for Success." In addition to educational content curated specifically for Construction Financial Managers, this conference offers opportunities to explore ideas and make new connections with peers from across the county.

With the current uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, this year’s conference will be a hybrid event, offering both in-person and virtual viewing options. For those attendees looking for an in-person opportunity to connect CFMA has arranged to stream the virtual conference in four cities around the United States. This will be done in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines and if the circumstances change, CFMA is prepared to adapt to ensure the health and safety of all attendees.

Regardless of how the conference is delivered I want to assure you that this conference will build on the success of past years to provide you with an exceptional experience with top quality education and a forum that brings professionals together so we can learn from one another. I hope you will join me on July 19-23 for the CFMA’s Hybrid Conference & Exhibition, whether from the comfort of your home or office; or in one of four cities that will offer in-person viewing of the virtual conference!

Sincerely,
Pamela Hepburn, CCIFP
CFMA’s 2021-22 Chairman
