Welcome

July 27, 2014

Welcome to the SWANA Florida 2014 Summer Conference! We have an excellent lineup of speakers who I’m sure will provide you with informative and thought provoking sessions covering many of the subjects at the forefront of our industry today. I hope you’ll take advantage of these opportunities to learn, network and touch base with old friends.

We are fortunate to have SWANA Executive Director and CEO John Skinner with us this year. Be sure to attend his session on Tuesday morning where he’ll share SWANA’s vision for the future.

Please enjoy the many amenities at the Bonaventure Resort and Spa while you are here. I look forward to seeing many of you during our dinner in the Society Lounge on Monday night.

I want to thank the members of the Conference Committee who have made this conference possible: Tammy Hayes, Keith Howard, Deb Bush, Kim Byer and Bill Embree. Th ey arranged for us to be in this comfortable setting, with a full agenda of learning sessions, Eco-tours and social events.

Th ank you to the sponsors and exhibitors who support our events. We appreciate you being here and making this conference such a great success.

Warmest regards,

Mitch Kessler
