From The President's Desk...

Wow, what a great conference! 

Our totals are in, and I am happy to report that we had:

113 Business Partners representing over 40 companies, and 80 Institutional Members representing 20 institutions.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the team at FIT for hosting this year’s conference. I also want to thank our Business Partners for their support and participation. In particular our Diamond Sponsor Siemens, Silver Sponsor Accurate Balancing and Commissioning, Bronze Sponsors Original Solutions Company, Inc, Spirotherm, AIT Environmental Technology, Golf Award Sponsor Belfor Property Restoration, Golf Drink Sponsor Hill York, Open Bar/Reception Sponsor Harvard Jolly Architecture, Badge holder Sponsor Southeast Mechanical Contractors and Exhibit Hall Afternoon Break Sponsor Gerrits Construction.  We couldn’t have done it without you!

I also could never forget to thank our 2 great speakers. Thank you Ken Lindeman and Brooks Baker for your time, energy and thoughtfulness.

There were some great takeaways from this year’s conference in many forms. There was invaluable information from our educational sessions, fantastic prizes from our vendors, and of course all the new business and personal relationships formed during our time together.

In the coming months please be sure to stop by here to see updates on events, meetings, and our lunch and learn sessions which we are working on now.

Thanks and we can’t wait to see you again next year in Sarasota at the Ringling College of Art and Design, March 6-8, 2013.
