As we wrap up another busy year, I've been thinking a lot about the moments that defined 2025 for MFCP—and there were some good ones.
Our networking opportunities were stronger than ever. We kicked off the year with our 70th Anniversary Celebration in Sioux Falls, and what a celebration it was. Attendance was fantastic, the energy was high, and we were honored to welcome so many of our past presidents back into the room. It felt like a true milestone moment for our association.
Then came our summer meeting in La Crosse, which many of you have told us was one of the most interactive, idea-filled gatherings we've ever hosted. The conversations, the sharing, the problem-solving—this group never ceases to amaze me.
We also kept the momentum going throughout the year with our Member MeetUps! These quick, one-hour sessions covered a wide mix of topics and gave everyone the chance to learn from each other in real time. They've become such a valuable way to connect, troubleshoot, and walk away with something new you can use right away.
And of course, 2025 was the year our digital ad sales platform really took off. We're so pleased to offer this benefit to our members—a simple, no-risk way to sell high-quality digital exposure at great prices. No subscription fees, no minimums, just an easy entry into the digital world with a strong margin to support your bottom line.
Looking ahead, we have even more planned for 2026, and we'll share those details in the next newsletter. For now, I simply want to say Thank you! Thank you for your membership, your engagement, your ideas, and the work you do every day in your communities.
And please remember—MFCP is here to help you make money, grow your business, and connect with others who get what you do. Put us to work in 2026. We're ready.
