2017 IFPS Spring Meeting

Special thanks to the 35+ IFPS members who recently met in Orlando, Fla., to conduct the 2017 Spring Meeting. These dedicated members steer the Board of Directors meeting, committee meetings, and strategic-planning sessions, and are instrumental in driving the IFPS forward in its mission.

In addition to board and committee meetings, attendees enjoyed an evening adventure at Medieval Times, a day tour of Kennedy Space Center, and had the opportunity to use their inner-pilot skills at ELITE Simulation Solutions with mock flight training.

IFPS added a fun, team-building event to the bi-annual dinner. You will view some crazy pictures below as teams of diners were tasked with building the tallest tower. Sound easy? Try using spaghetti and marshmallows as construction tools!

The IFPS 2017 Annual Meeting will take place September 25-29, 2017 in Indianapolis, Ind.
