Dear FL|ASLA Members:
As we head into the official start of fall, I am reminded of a saying that we use to have at a previous position..."beware the ‘ber’ months." We had this saying because things would inevitably move at a lightning speed, and clients would typically want us to wrap up their projects before the end of the year. This year I believe the saying takes on a new more positive meaning. Things are picking up; hopefully, the "ber" months will bring us all new projects to tackle, and in turn time will once again fly by.
Last month we featured a member spotlight article on David Font, ASLA in Miami and his appearance on the HGTV show "Brother Vs. Brother." I am happy to update you in case you missed the shows, Dave won the competition! A BIG congratulations goes out to him from FL|ASLA!!
Elections are now open thru the end of the month. You should have received a link to your ballot in your email on Aug. 30. If you did not, please contact info@flasla.org and we will make sure you do. We have a strong slate of candidates this cycle, and I encourage you all to read each of the biography statements and cast your vote!
Additionally, we sent out a legislative survey last month, and that is still up and available for you to take. Please follow this link http://www.flasla.org/surveys/default.asp?id=GovernmentAffairsSurvey and complete the survey. This is your opportunity to inform your Government Affairs Committee what issues are important to you.
Until next month,
Michael Miller, ASLA
FL|ASLA President
