Northeast

UPCOMING MEETING: TBD

The Northeast District is comprised of 19 counties; Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, Saint Johns, Suwannee, Taylor, and Union.

NE District meetings are held twice a year; midway between FLGISA conferences. Prior to a district meeting, a survey is sent to the district membership to help determine the meeting date and content. A follow-up survey is sent after the meeting to get feedback from the attendees. This formula has served us well in putting together successful meetings that benefit our members. If you have never attended a district meeting, I invite you to review the archived meeting documents, especially the feedback from the attendees, so you can see the value it would bring to your organization.

If you ever need anything or have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

ARCHIVES OF PAST DISTRICT MEETINGS

On October 3, 2019 the Central West district held a meeting at Pasco County.

On May 3, 2018 the Central and Southwest FLGISA Directors held our combined district spring event at the impressive Port Tampa Bay facility.

On September 22, 2016, the Central West District held its district meeting at Port Tampa Bay’s Cruise Terminal Two in Tampa Florida. The meeting featured Don Gulling, from Verteks Consulting, as one of the industry’s subject matter expert in the area of Emerging Trends In IT and Security/Wire Fraud. His presentation was extremely engaging and captivating, and generated thought-provoking questions, as well as interest from several district members.

I’m sure Ray Desjardins, the SW District Director, has already addressed the collaborative effort the CW and SW District are engaged in by attempting to establish and organize a regional IT Expo. If this endeavor is successful and meaningful to the attendees and participates, then the additional exposure to FLGISA within the region will be a tremendous benefit.

Southeast

The FLGISA provides enhanced networking and support through its six districts. Each district is led by an elected District Director who coordinates regional meetings and training throughout the year. Directors serve on the FLGISA Board, providing a voice for each district.

The Southeast District is comprised of 7 counties; Okeechobee, Saint Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe.

SE District meetings are held twice per year, mid-way between the Annual conference and the winter conference. Since the geographical span of the SE District is quite large, meetings are held in the northern area in the fall and in the southern district area in the spring. Meetings are great opportunities to network with other agencies, learning from each other and finding support when facing the same challenges.

If you ever need any assistance from the FLGISA organization or from our SE District members, please do not hesitate to contact me.
