CFA 2022 Spring General Meeting

Dear CFA Members:

The CFA 2022 Spring General Meeting has concluded without a hitch. Thank you to the members that attended and to those that had prepared for the sessions.

As it was aptly put during the meeting, CompactFlash Association (CFA) is not only a standards body but a trade association chartered to nurture its ecosystem and to create a dynamic community of growing businesses supporting the standard. After joining CFA in April 2022, I have come to realize that this is an area where we need to put more effort into besides supporting a robust technical community. I intend to make the General Meetings more useful and rewarding to our members as I work with the various committees and workgroups.

Below is a copy of the presentation which you can download for your perusal. I hope you can join the relevant Committees and Workgroups and contribute with your ideas. I am in all of them!

We will announce the CFA 2022 Fall General Meeting schedule shortly. I hope it can be a physical meeting where I can meet you in person. Until then, stay safe and prosper!

Hiro Ino, President CFA

Dear CFA Members:

Hi, this is Hiro Ino.  This is the first time I am personally reaching out to you as the new President of CompactFlash Association.  I look forward to serving you in building a prosperous business with CompactFlash products.  I am no stranger to the CFA since I was an active member a decade ago while working for SanDisk at that time.  I hope to infuse energy in reinvigorating the activities of CFA while making new friends!

The CFA Spring 2022 General Meeting is just around the corner.  As with the Fall 2021 General Meeting, we will have the meeting on-line over two days, May 18-19 (May 17-18 for US), 2022 to accommodate the time zone differences of participants.  Please find the agenda and time for each session; the BoD Meetings are for the Board of Directors and Committee Chairs only.  We were originally planning for a physical meeting in Japan but have reverted to an on-line session due to uncertainties regarding travel into the country.  Please follow the instructions below to ensure your spot!
