North Central Chapter

President’s Message

Hi All!

Congratulations to Lisa Belisle AIFD for winning North Central’s Facebook Design Contest. Lisa won a General Registration to AIFD’s National Symposium “GROW” in Chicago, IL, July 1-6.

I hope everyone is making plans to join us in the “Windy City” for “GROW”!

Just a heads up, Chicago is hosting the inaugural NASCAR Chicago Street Race during Symposium. Hotel space will be at a premium, make sure that you take advantage of the Hilton Hotel block that AIFD has arranged for us all.

Don’t forget:

GLFEE will be held March 3rd – 5th, 2023 at the Devos Place, Grand Rapids. Lodging will be at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

Illinois State Floral Association will be having an Immersive Educational Retreat Weekend on March 10th – 12th, 2023 at Walkers Bluff Winery.

An amazing line up of World Class Designers will be holding hands on classes all weekend. There will also be three Design Competitions on Friday, March 10th.
