FAA Exhibited at NCFAA Trade Show

The Florida Apartment Association exhibited at the North Central Florida Apartment Association Trade Show, "That 70's Trade Show," on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, at the Hilton University Hotel. We did another clever spin on a hit TV show from the 70's, "The Brady Bunch," featuring "The FAA Bunch!"

Everyone remembers the iconic opening of each episode of the Brady Bunch where the show pictured the cast smiling and looking at each other within squares. So ... the staff of the Florida Apartment Association replicated them. Marjorie Cook, our Executive Vice President, on the top; Rona Long, our Bookkeeper and Leasing Administrator, on the left; Laura Heiselman, our Government Affairs Director, on the right; and Ralph Robinson, CMP, the Director of Meetings & Affiliate Relations, looking up from the bottom. There was one face missing in the center, though, and that represented YOU, the member of our North Central Florida Apartment Association.

So we had a fun challenge at our booth where we were in search of our missing FAA Bunch Member! We encouraged folks to swing by our booth by marketing it as: "Marsha, Marsha, MARSHA!" The FAA Bunch is Looking for YOU to Steal the Center of Attention at the NCFAA's "That 70's Trade Show!" Visit our Booth for a chance to win a $50 Gift Card!

We also raffled off a Full-Conference Registration for our October show!

We took attendees' photos by having them hold up the poster where the center square had a cut out for their faces to smile for the camera! We posted all of the photos on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FloridaApartmentAssociation

The winner of our "The FAA Bunch" Challenge was Lauren Hughes, pictured below.

We had a great time talking to the members, providing them with information about our legislative advocacy program, NAAEI designations, the Legislative Conference and the upcoming FAA Education Conference & Trade Show, October 16-18 at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek near Disney in Orlando. The winner of the full-conference registration was the lucky Susan Stewart with Sun Bay Apartments in Gainesville.
