"AFT is more than an association, more than great speakers and education. AFT has become a family and network of amazing people who challenge each other to learn and are all driving towards the same goals for our fintech industry. When AFT brings the very best in our industry together twice a year, and to some of the best locations in the country… it’s a heavyweight match of sessions and mind share. I haven’t been able to find anything else in the industry that compares. That is why I decided to give back, give more, and get involved to do what I could to make AFT better and make sure others get the experience I’ve had for over 10 years."
