PRESIDENT'S REPORT
By Kaye Schmitz
 | | Kaye Schmitz |
Dear FPP Members,
Summer is in full swing, the Third Annual FPP Conference at the beautiful Don Cesar is a happy memory, and we're already hard at work on next year's conference. I hope that you were able to take the survey that was sent out a couple of weeks ago. Our members spoke, and we listened. The majority of our members taking the survey, requested keeping the hotel price at $119 or below and the registration fee at $149 or below. We're moving the conference back to Orlando in 2012 and are currently working with some venues to fulfill your requests.
Please enjoy the pictures (below) from last month's conference--they will make you smile whether you were there or not. We also wish you a safe and happy summer and hope you will join us for the next FPP webinar, "CRA 101" on Monday, September 12 at 1:30 p.m. We will send reminder information prior to that date. Have a good one!
 Kaye D. Schmitz
President /CEO
