"Great things take time, and we have many exciting items in progress. "
|
Welcome to the start of Florida’s rainy season. Make sure your generators work, keep your gas tanks at least half full, and stock up on the rest of your “camping in your house” (aka hurricane season) supplies.
It was beautiful weather as we held our annual planning session and board meeting in Amelia Island a few weeks ago. I hope you have registered for our Annual Conference in Marco Island from July 26 through July 29. There is still room for more attendees (and sponsors).

Chapter Leaders Visit FES HQ in Tallahassee |

Thank you to those Chapter Leaders who attended our 3rd bi-annual Chapter Leadership Training. We hope you found it helpful and informative! When asked what was the most beneficial portion of the training, one attendee remarked on "the breadth and depth of state resources available to each Chapter."
The next training will be on October 4-5, 2023, so if you missed this one, you still have an opportunity to attend.
