President's Message



It is so hard to believe we are about to say goodbye to another decade. I want to take this time to wish all of you a very happy, healthy and abundant new year. 

I am looking forward to kicking off 2020 with our first joint social event.  We are starting out with The Cleveland State University men's basketball game at the Wolstein Center on Saturday, January 11th.  It will be the CSU Vikings VS the Oakland Grizzlies.  We will be in a reserved section along with our CSU Student IMA chapter.

On Tuesday, January 14th we will be hosting a joint meeting with the IMA Cleveland East Chapter at the Holiday Inn on 6001 Rockside Road, Independence, Ohio 44131.  The topic will be the 2020 Economic Forecast and Update, hosted by guest speaker Joseph Haubrich Senior Economic and Policy Advisor with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

February 18th is our Community Give Back Night.  We have been invited to assist the IMA Cleveland East Chapter at the Cleveland Foodbank for "REPACK NIGHT".  Join us for an evening at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank where we will be sorting and repacking nonperishable food for distribution to local food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters.​ 

Our next joint meeting will be on Thursday, February 27th.  Our guest speaker will be Frank Suponcic, Partner with Marcum Accountants, Advisors (formerly Skoda Minotti).  He will present the latest and most current information on credit card fraud and true stories and legal cases involving the white collar crimes. 

We hope to see you at any and all of our upcoming events.  Please be sure to visit the website for more information and registration information.  If there is anything I can do to be of assistance, or if you have any questions regarding the IMA, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.  Your questions and feedback are important to us. 


Kindest Regards,
Honey Wess
President, IMA Cleveland Chapter
