You Have a Little More Time! Great Places in Florida Nominations Extended Until Aug. 11!
Great Places in Florida is an awards program created to highlight Florida’s great places and the communities and people that have created them. The Great Places Award is an annual selection of places that represent the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement and a vision for tomorrow.
APA Florida is seeking nominations from individuals, local governments and organizations for Great Places in Florida.
Early pricing ends Aug. 14 Florida Planning Conference Early Registration Is Open!
Are you ready to Dream Big and Imagine Florida in a virtual world? It is time to register for the 2020 Florida Planning Conference, APA Florida’s first ever virtual annual conference! Plus, the good news is that early registration for APA members, at $165, is less than half of the normal cost for an in-person conference. Employers, that means you can send two people for the normal price of one – a great opportunity for your staff to hone their professional skills and stay abreast of what is happening in Florida’s planning world.
Take advantage of early pricing to save money. Early bird registration ends on Aug. 14.
Make Plans to Attend the Annual Member Meeting in September
The 2020 Annual Member Meeting will be virtually from 4– 5 pm ET on Sept. 8. Normally this meeting is held in person at the annual conference venue, but due to COVID-19 and the need to practice physical distancing, we will meet this year in a virtual platform. We hope that this will enable many more members to participate.
On the agenda there are several items noticed for action. Specifically, members will be asked to VOTE on the following:
2020 APA Florida Executive Committee Election
It is time to cast your ballot for new Officers! On July 16, APA sent each APA Florida member an email with a link to their ballot. You should have received a notice from Survey and Ballot Systems, that contains a unique link to your ballot. Voting will end on August 17.
