“We are so excited that our Southeast Region will be meeting in person for the first time in many years to discuss the latest in codes, regulations and other regionally specific matters face-to-face with experts and officials in that area,” said Vlad.
Vlad would also like to remind event participants of a format change in 2025, when the FGIA summer event will be hosted virtually.
“This virtual summer event will look more like an expanded virtual regional meeting in order to allow more industry professionals to engage with the association,” said Vlad. “Virtual regional events will continue to be offered, focusing on content of interest to those members.”
