“Why do I belong to MAFSI?  Giving back to an industry that gave us so much was paramount in our decision to participate; but the unexpected dividends just continue to pile up.  The innumerable opportunities, lifelong friendships, insights and edification would clearly justify membership; however, the value can actually be measured in revenue and efficiencies gained. We’ve been able to scale our business doubling and redoubling as a direct result of the tools provided and connections made at MAFSI.”
