PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

EXECUTIVE BOARD

I hope everyone is enjoying the warm and rainy sum- mer. I just returned from beautiful Sarasota, where the Executive Board held our annual retreat. We are putting plans in motion for our TPP Seminar and be- lieve it or not, the 2019 conference. Time flies. Our TPP Seminar will be held December 3-7 at the popu- lar Embassy Suites hotel in Kissimmee. Stay tuned for agenda details and pre-seminar offer- ings.

Justin Edwards, AAS, CFE Office Operations Supervisor Putnam County

The 2018-19 Steering Committees have been finalized and I am excited to see what our new Administrative Committee will come up with. All committees are filled with talented professionals, who are experts in their fields. If you have any topics you would like to suggest, please reach out to me or any of the committee members. We love to hear feedback from our members! Summer will officially come to an end right as the 84 th Annual IAAO Confer- ence kicks off. I am looking forward to the great networking and educational opportunities that these conferences offer. And the cooler temperatures will be welcomed! The Chapter has been nominated for several awards:  Outstanding Chapter/Affiliate of the Year  John A. Zangerle Award for our quarterly newsletter  Virginia Cup for having the most members earn a professional designation I hope to see many familiar faces in Minneapolis! It will be great to show our support for two Floridian IAAO board members, President Dorothy Jacks and Director Pat Alesandrini. Tracy Drake will also be kicking off his campaign for the IAAO Board, as Director of Region 3. He will certainly have my vote this November. With board members, committee members, representatives, and conference speakers, Florida is well represented on an international level. If you are inter- ested in becoming a member of IAAO, they are offering a special, discounted rate to members of Florida Chapter. Click here for the application or contact me if you have questions on the benefits of IAAO membership.
