2013 Annual Conference Redevelopment Defined  October 30 - November 1, 2013  Tampa Waterside Marriott www.redevelopment.net Letter From the President Dear Florida Redevelopers, WELCOME TO THE 2013 FLORIDA REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE! I think this conference will easily fulfill the Board of Director’s promise that every year we offer the best educational opportunities and still have the most fun during our networking events. Thanks to Conference Chair Jeremy Earle and his hardworking committee for a fine job in putting together an excellent conference. It goes without saying that we could not put this package together without our FRA staff who keep the ship afloat and the trains running on time. And also, Steve Lindorff my heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, session speakers and moderators. How could we do this without your continuing support of the FRA’s mission? Over the years, as a member, board member and now president of the FRA, I have come to know that the people who are doing redevelopment in Florida are among the most committed volunteers and the best and the brightest public administrators the Sunshine State has to offer. Thanks to all of you for everything you do! As we lived through and are now crawling out of this long economic slump, Florida redevelopers have stayed the course, continuing to push forward and bring meaningful and lasting change for the communities and people we serve. Give yourself a round of applause! The association is in good hands. This has been a year of finding the “right size” fiscally while making sure there is no drop-off in services provided to you, the member. The Certification Committee has continued to be our most active group, organizing and scheduling training sessions, working to expand educational offerings, and taking the first steps toward getting some of our certification programs available online. Other committees – Finance, Membership, PR/Marketing and Legal/Legislative – have all been busy taking care of the business of the association. Your website www.redevelopment. org is better than ever. I encourage you to visit it often! During 2012-2013, two FRA Board members – Richard Sala and Marc Mondell – are termed off the Board. Richard and Marc, thank you for dedication to the FRA. It has truly been an honor for me to serve as the 2012-2013 FRA president. I am nearing the end of a 40-plus year career in local government, and serving as your president has been one of the most rewarding experiences of all. I have met and gotten to know many FRA members, and I will always count you as a friend. Steven G.
