There is no more fundamental value than the right of every eligible voter to be able to cast their ballot. Never doubt that your vote is powerful, but it must be exercised to remain so. | As always, I want to express my gratitude to each of you for your continuous support and contributions to the Florida Engineering Society and the American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida. I would like to again give pause to those families and friends impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. | | | |
