Wednesdays With Wheeler – Southern Regional Chapter Event

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Our Board began 2026 with strong momentum, holding our first Board of Directors meeting at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach in conjunction with a well-attended Southern Regional Chapter event. These joint meetings continue to add tremendous value for both the Board and our chapter members, creating meaningful opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen relationships across our membership.

Thank you to Southern Regional Chapter leadership lead by Chairman Carl Davis of the Equipment Hub for their partnership and support in planning this great event, including the golf outing.  And thank you to our great sponsors including Financial Partners Group (FPG), The Equipment Hub, Resell CNC, and Tiger.

I would like to extend a special thank-you to our local members, George and Lisette Alves, as well as Pepe and Ileana Sardinas of A M Metalmaq, for their guidance, participation, and warm hospitality in their hometown. Their support played a key role in the success of this event.

A personal highlight for me was welcoming back Terry Yoder of Yoder Machinery. Watching the good Lord restore our friend back to good health put a smile on all our faces.  Welcome back Yoder!

As we move forward, our officer teams are actively preparing for our upcoming national events this spring, including the Appraisers Forum in March and Weekend With the Pros in May. We look forward to your participation and continued engagement.

Best regards,
