In the spirit of the World Cup, we are at Half-Time for 2026!
What an amazing first-half of 2026 we had! With engagement by our members and non-members across a number of very well attended Midwest educational and networking events, including the 13-Week Cash Flow webinar, the Mid-America Restructuring Conference (MARC) in Detroit, the Judge’s Roundtable, Cub’s and Brewers games, the Annual Charity Golf Outing in Lake Geneva, and of course, the TMA Summerfest event in Milwaukee, to name a few!
Each of these events provided our valuable members and outstanding sponsors with opportunities to connect with their industry peers as they continued to build their networks to gain referrals and provide direct referrals, collectively, for new business opportunities.
As we look ahead to the second-half of 2026, the event schedule continues to get better with the upcoming Lender Panel / Capital Marketplace event, the NextGen Rooftop Event, the Large Cap Symposium, the TMA Annual Conference, the Executive Speakers Forum, and of course the ever-popular Annual Holiday Party.
As we continue to focus on our Pipelines to Prosperity, we will continue to drive meaningful pathways to build our collective brands and prospective new business opportunities. Whether it’s developing new business relationships, expanding professional expertise, mentoring future leaders, or strengthening our collective deal flow, the TMA serves will continue to be a powerful connector that fuels both individual success and the long-term health of our industry.
The true value of TMA membership lies in this pipeline. Through high-quality educational programming and targeted networking opportunities to build lasting relationships that result in new business opportunities, which our chapter provides members at every stage of their career with access to ideas, relationships, and experiences that simply aren’t available elsewhere. Participation – showing up, volunteering, engaging – turns that access into opportunity, and opportunity into growth and prosperity.
I look forward to seeing you at event in the second half of the year – game on!
Warmest regards,
Sandy Prabhakar
President, TMA Chicago/Midwest Chapter
