Your Monthly Footwear News & Networking Call
We’re excited to share details of the next session in our new initiative: BFA Monthly Member Calls – a regular opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and spotlight the incredible work happening across our community.
Our next call takes place on Wednesday, 9th July at 12:30 PM (1-hour duration) via Microsoft Teams, and we’d love for you to join us.
