FLAPPA, the Florida Chapter of APPA
FLAPPA’s Fourth Annual Conference is almost upon us! It is amazing how fast the year goes, it has been a busy and exciting year for our chapter and we hope you will join us at the University of North Florida on March 19th through March 20th, 2008. The University of North Florida is a wonderful campus and we are fortunate this year to have them host the conference. Facilities Director Matthew Taylor, Christy Linster and all of the Facilities staff at UNF have been working hard for well over a year in preparation for the upcoming conference. FLAPPA is for our institutions of higher education here in the state of Florida. The problems, challenges and issues we all face each and every day in facilities management are what bind us together in this chapter. We have common goals and objectives and the support of each other. Working together for our common good is a benefit that this organization, though in its infancy, has brought to many of us here in Florida and beyond. By our participation in FLAPPA, we bring the benefits, knowledge and networking available from APPA and SRAPPA to our group. APPA and SRAPPA are incredibly supportive of our chapter. Over the past three years many of us have had the chance during our conferences to talk directly with leaders in both organizations and for this we are grateful. This year will be another opportunity to talk with APPA leadership; it is a great opportunity to get involved not only on a local level, but a regional and national level as well. Though our collective budget times are difficult and stressors that
are affecting our state and our campuses continue to change the day
to day efforts we all share, the FLAPPA Conference at UNF this year
will give you a chance to engage in discussions that have direct
impact on you and your staff regarding these stresses and changing
times. We are creating our history and we encourage you to be a part
of this history. It is why FLAPPA is here, it why we want you to
be at UNF with us in March!
