GCDC TO PARTNER WITH IFDA

We are proud to announce a limited "partnership" between GCDC and the local chapter of IFDA (International Furnishings & Design Association).  We will be helping one another by sharing and promoting educational and motivational opportunities that will benefit our members.

We have agreed to jointly sponsor a couple of meetings in 2011.  More information about those meetings will be coming soon.  We will also be cross promoting each other's ongoing meeting agendas in case there are opportunities our members might find of mutual interest.

While IFDA is a national organization with local chapters and their meeting structure and costs are different, we still believe there are opportunities to make this a win-win for both groups.

Please follow the GCDC posts on Facebook to learn about opportunities with IFDA.  We look forward to an exciting year of motivation, education and partnership!
