CFIC Has Room for its Members
Since the merger between NCFDA and NCRMA, October 15, 2004, CFIC members now have access to a “home away from home” for small group retail or supplier meetings.
Because CFIC exists for its members, we make both of our conference rooms available to members to hold their own business meetings while in the Raleigh area. We are able to provide catered meals for meetings as well.
Located at 601 Saint Mary’s Street, the office building is wholly owned and operated by the Association. The employee and guest parking lot in front of the building is free and convenient to state government complexes.
Our ten-thousand-square-foot building offers ample space to house the equipment necessary for staff to perform the work of our members professionally.
Simply call Chana Alford to schedule our large conference room (seats 15-25) or small conference room (seats 6-8) at (919) 832-0811 or e-mail chanaa@ncrma.org.arolinas Food In
