FACUG

Fall Conference
October 25th 2008

 


Conference Report....... by Stu Silverman:
I just returned from the Region 5  - 14th Annual Spring Conference.
I first need to say that I am so proud of the FACUG Board of Directors and especially our new President Marie Vesta. We worked as a TEAM and the results were quite evident. All the participants both registrants and vendors gave extremely positive feedback.

The presentations were well above average; we tried out some new ideas and took some risks. We relocated our Conference from the central part of the state to a small town about a half hour drive north of Tampa on Florida’s West Coast. We moved from the Kissimmee Civic Center to the Zephyrhills High School. We raised the registration fee and we attracted about 50 more participants than last year. We had 48 first timers
