Dear Members,
We are thrilled to announce the results of the annual nominations process, which began in May of this year. We sought to fill three positions on the FIGT board: President, Membership Director, and a new role, Community Engagement Director. We received applications from a number of highly qualified and experienced candidates, making the selection process both challenging and exciting.
We hereby present the following slate of nominees, which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fill the vacant positions on the FIGT Board:
Flor Garcia - President
Patrick Kadian - Membership Director
Yoshi Hashimoto - Community Engagement Director
Their biographies may be found HERE.
Voting members of FIGT (current members in good standing) had until August 1, 2025 to vote on the slate of nominees. We will announce results soon!
We look forward to the positive impact these individuals will bring to our organization and the continued growth and success of FIGT. Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement in our shared mission.
FIGT friends, colleagues, and honoree Ruth Van Reken and her family gathered over the last weekend in July to celebrate Ruth’s 80th birthday! This special event, held in the vibrant city of Chicago, honored an incredible woman, strengthened connections, and established new friendships.
Whether you were there to make lasting memories or were unable to attend, check back soon for an event de-brief and, of course, fun photos!
