On
September 22, 2015, over 80 attendees gathered at the Seattle Yacht Club to
celebrate the Puget Sound Construction Financial Management
Association’s (CFMA) 30th Anniversary. Cheryl Nagel, CFO of Sequoyah
Electric and President of the Puget Sound CFMA, gave an inspirational
speech about what motivated her to get involved with CFMA. Her message
focused on four words; networking, relationships, personal growth and
giving back. She reflected on her past and present mentors and thanked
Dave Nichols, Executive Chairman of Sequoyah Electric, for being her
current mentor of 15 years. Her message encouraged attendees to find
what motivates them to take risks, step out of comfort zones and act on
opportunities; resulting in growth both professionally and personally.
Cheryl's
message was followed by Mark Matteson, a local nationally recognized
speaker and author who then complemented the event with messages of goal
setting and building lasting relationships that contribute to lifelong
success. Also present was Cathy Wasner, CFMA National Director of
National Services who shared more about what is happening in the US and
Canada and the recent increase in chapters and growth in the
membership.
Special
recognition to Lloyd Weibe, Koll Housemen, and Hank Waggoner original
Founding Members of the Puget Sound Chapter. Also mentioned was Rick
Bellin and Herman Koempel for 27 years and Steve Palmer for 25 years of
membership! Thank you all who joined us for this celebration!
