For those who were able to attend the ICMA conference I hope you found it to be educational and very well put together. The sessions and keynotes were great. We had approximately 90 attendees at our State Dinner on Monday the 19th. The venue was stunning (rooftop overlooking the city skyline). There were 16 students that attended as well, and it was such a pleasure to speak with them. Many business cards were exchanged so let’s hope it bears fruit for our emerging leaders. What a great networking opportunity for these young people interested in joining our profession.
Congratulations to Vince Long (County Administrator, Vince Long) who received the ICMA Award for Career Excellence in Memory of Mark E. Keane and Bob Lee (MPA Coordinator, Florida Gulf Coast University.) who received the ICMA Academic Award in Memory of Stephen B. Sweeney. Congratulations also to our the ICMA Service Award Winners.
