The 2012 FGCA Executive board held their annual strategic planning meeting
on Feb. 3, 2012 in America's Seaplane City, Tavares, FL. Hosted by FGCA
Director Joyce Ross, the City of Tavares provided an ideal location for your
Board to get down to the business of reviewing the outcome of last year's
goals, and setting a steady course for a successful 2012 for all FGCA
members. The day-long planning meeting, coordinated by FGCA President Crystal Pruitt (Sarasota)and facilitated by Past-President Nanette Rodriguez (City of Miami Beach) addressed topics of interest such as FGCA's financial sustainability, providing
enhancements and professional enrichment opportunities to both government and associate members, and the 2012 FGCA Annual Conference, hosted by Board member Bob Woods and his team in Gainesville.
