MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The past year has been a trying one for businesses and individuals alike. Now, with positive change on our horizon, we can look to the future of our industries with a more optimistic outlook. HSMAI of the Florida Keys has a fantastic year planned, filled with great speakers, educational webinars and of course the second annual Yappy Hour fundraiser. We welcome any suggestions regarding topics you would be interested in or presenters you would like to hear from. Every year HSMAI has a Leadership Conference and this past February, it was held at the Ritz Carlton in St. Louis. The overall theme was “If you build it right, they will come”. It was two days of inspiring sessions and round tables with other chapters of HSMAI. The Best of the Best awards ceremony was held on the last night and I’m proud to announce that our chapter was honored with the Membership Retention and Development Award. We received this thanks to all of you who continue to support us and spread the word about our association. We look forward to an incredible year!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Boeckman
