NFi Foosball

"Orlando's Ambassador of Love"...

Recently, Donna Dowless, artist, inspirational speaker and so much more, came to speak to the NFi team on life lessons, success, and loving what you do.

IBAT Website & MyIBAT Community Launched

NFi FoosballIn January, we launched the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) new website and community. IBAT is a trade association representing more than 2,000 Texas community banks and branches. Last year at the ASAE Technology Conference we met Kerry Hall, Vice President of Information Management, who was looking for a technology company with the exact fit for the tools he wanted to implement in his association. Working with Kerry, as well as Jennifer Dupont, has been an enjoyable and learning experience with having our product, MemberFuse, become customized to fit the needs of the bankers in Texas.

Even though the site and community has successfully launched, we are continuing to work with Kerry and his staff on more projects to create tools that retain association membership, but in addition, to recruit new members. We encourage all of you to take a look at their website: http://ibat.org


SEMA.org & My SEMA Community is Live!

On Friday, March 27th, the new SEMA.org website went live to the public and its members. SEMA members now have access to a new member benefit called MySEMA. The powerful MySEMA portal allows members to browse company and member directories, network, and receive personalized industry content through a variety of media channels.

Our partnership with SEMA (Speciality Equipment Market Association) is continually evolving. " We are extremely delighted to be partners with SEMA and foresee tremendous strides as we continue to collaborate on future projects with their SEMA Show and the SEMA Education Institute." - Sterling Raphael, President/CEO (NFi)

NFi considers it a privilege to be a part of SEMA's accomplishments and aspires to accompany SEMA to the next level of innovative technology.
