BAM is excited to announce that Dan Castner is acting president elect of the IFMA NYC Chapter!

To celebrate this achievement, we’re taking a look back at Dan’s time with IFMA so far:

2013: Dan joins IFMA as a new member, and makes a splash with a summer wine tasting fundraiser. The tasting drew double the expected attendance, and was so successful it became an annual event on the IFMA NYC calendar.

2014: Helping to lead their fundraising efforts since joining the previous year, Dan joins IFMA NYC as the chapter presents a $20,000 donation to the IFMA Foundation.

2015: Dan wins the Distinguished Associate Member Award at the 2015 IFMA Awards for Excellence, acknowledging his “outstanding leadership within the organization at an international level.”

2017: Dan becomes IFMA Programs Chair and joins a series of IFMA panels.

2019: Dan begins his role as vice president of the IFMA NYC chapter. To foster collaboration between local chapters, Dan pioneers a joint event between the IFMA Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapters.

In 2020, Dan also began his role as acting president elect of the IFMA NYC Chapter. He will officially become president elect on July 1, 2020 and will transition to president on July 1, 2021. Congratulations, Dan!
