President's Message from 
Jean Kalinsky, BASI

Here we are in June ... the halfway point of our year ...
 
So many wonderful events already and so much more to come.  What a great time to be involved with GCPPA!
 
Watch your email and our FACEBOOK PAGE for updated S4 news as we close in on our August Success Summit and Summer Showcase events. These are going to be two stupendous (does that make if S5?) shows that will surely provide you with tools to finish the year strong.
 
I hope to see many of you at our FLIPP event on June 27th at XTREME Action Park in Ft. Lauderdale.  We will have 2 escape rooms - buddy up with your friends - make new ones and beat the clock.  By the way: it's OK if you don't want to take part in the escape adventures - plenty of us will be socializing and networking with our colleagues outside of the rooms.  My thanks to Ashlee Poole for putting together this fun event.
 
Speaking of whom... please join me in wishing Ashlee the best of luck in her new position, with Sanmar, covering northern Florida.  Because of this, Ashlee has had to resign her seat on our Board of Directors.  We will miss her greatly and thank her for all of her efforts, support and service to our Association.
