Talking about the return of the dinner, IOR Northern Region Committee Member Angie Brand said "I’m excited to be back and to once again be part of the IOR Northern Branch! It’s incredible to think that we started this journey 25 years ago, and to see how far we've come since then. The passion, dedication, and progress in the industry over the years have been truly inspiring. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, meeting new faces, and continuing to support the branch as it grows and evolves!"
Charlotte Jones, who is also part of the IOR Northern Region Committee added: “I’m so excited to see the IOR Northern Branch Dinner to be running again! Throughout my career, I’ve always heard fantastic things about this event, and now I have the privilege of not only attending but also helping to organize it. It’s one of the most highly anticipated gatherings in our industry for this area, bringing professionals together for a great evening of networking and celebration. But that’s just the beginning—our annual dinner and golf day are the first of many exciting plans we have in store!
