In order to continue to deliver on our promise to provide our members with world-class educational content, IMCA launched a service late last year that focuses on current issues—IMCA’s Industry Spotlight Series. Through this series IMCA has committed to offering a greater focus on industry-related news and developments, and therefore provides direct access to “Eye On The Storm,” an e-mail news alert service powered by FirstRain. “Eye On The Storm” provides alternative research on today's turbulent financial markets and you can sign up for the free service today by clicking here. In addition, don’t forget to visit our current issues page and our spotlight article archives.
