November 2018 - Columbus Brewery Tour
Adam Benner, President of Land Grant Brewery, hosted an open forum discussion on the national and local craft beer industries at Land Grant Brewery, located in Franklinton area off of West Town Street. Adam and co-owner Walt Keys started Land Grant Brewery after returning to the Greater Columbus Region in 2012. The creative beer flavors and humor-filled beer names have since propelled Land Grant to be one of the most popular breweries in Columbus.
Adam shared his financial trials and the triumphs of scaling a home-brewing operation into a full service brewery and tap room. In a more macro perspective, he also provided insight into the competitive nature between the national brewers and craft brewers. We learned the necessary steps to brew beer, differences between hops and malt flavors, and the beer canning process.

COAFP Awarded for 11th Year Running!
at the Annual Regional Officer’s Meeting in Washington D.C., July 2018
Cindy Clark and Jenny Morrison represented COAFP at the national Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) 2018 Regional Officer’s Meeting (ROM) in Washington D.C. It is a meeting where AFP Regional Associations gather, share ideas, discuss strategy and network, all with the goal of creating better regional associations for their Members.
For the 11th consecutive year, COAFP won an award at the annual ROM Idea Fair. This year, COAFP won in the “Best Marketing Idea” category. Under the leadership of President Linda Opundo and Buckeye Financial Forum Co-Chairs Cindy Clark and Clay Lanctot, COAFP asked Buckeye Financial Forum speakers to advertise COAFP on both their websites and social media feeds before and after the Buckeye Financial Forum, for an agreed upon time period. Benefits included exposure to a different audience driving new visitor traffic to our website, building enthusiasm for the event with existing members, and different feeds mentioning COAFP move the organization up in search engine rankings. The result: Our 2018 Buckeye Financial Forum had its highest-ever attendance!
