“I’m really excited to be joining FEA,” says Rob. “After 36 years, it’s an opportunity to give something back to the industry I love. Having been on the FEA council, I understand what the association brings to members. Indeed, in my previous career the FEA was a fantastic support, especially when we headed into the pandemic – the advice we received from them was invaluable.
“I look forward to working with FEA to grow the membership and to promote the tools that they offer to help members develop and grow their own businesses.”
