The Chair's Award

Kari has been very active in CFMA on a local, regional and national level. She has never given up on her vision and hard work for CFMA, and most recently for the CCIFP Certification.

She has a very unique perspective on life and embraces every possibility, including many certifications. CFMA is lucky to have Kari as a big part of making our goals come true.

In 2018, then-CFMA Chairman Joe McLaughlin wanted to recognize members who do exceptional work for CFMA, but whose efforts might not be acknowledged at the Executive level. He was reminded of the military tradition of the challenge coin – a small medallion or token that signifies a person is a member of an elite group. Since then, CFMA Executive Committee members have followed the tradition of giving out a limited number of Chairman’s Challenge Coins to CFMA members who exhibit service and excellence to CFMA.
