FIF is pleased to announce the launch of a new section of the Weekly News entitled “FIF Member News”.  In addition to the existing North American, International and FIF News segments of the weekly distribution, FIF will now feature stories of interest about, and from its members. The stories will promote new product developments, industry research and analysis, organizational announcements, and similar topics. The FIF Member News section was a result of expressed interest from a number of members looking to better communicate stories about their respective firms and developments.  FIF members are encouraged to submit proposed article content and any related questions to the Program Office at fifinfo@fif.com.
