What were our politicians thinking? Included in this e-newsletter you will find VISIT FLORIDA's official statement regarding remarks made in DC lately. I mean, don't get me wrong, we all realize this is not a time for frivolous parties but why didn't they understand that face-to-face meetings are motivating for employees? Often are the life blood for associations? AND they stimulate both local and global economies? Do you know that 1 million people are directly or indirectly employed in the M&C industry here in the US alone? I encourage you to take action by going to www.MeetingsMeanBusiness.com and sign the petition. Because meetings really do mean business.

Check out meetings.VISITFLORIDA.com, where you will find a list of group values and meeting incentives destinations and properties here in sunny Florida have going on right now. They are awesome! You can literally save your company thousands of dollars.

Finally, the supplier registration for Florida Encounter is now open. And Save The Date: Planner registration will open on July 6. Also, are you on Facebook and/or LinkedIn? Join the Florida Encounter groups on both to stay in the loop and network before this program even starts! Don't forget to contact me for Florida meetings information at Steven Bonda, CMP.
