Thanks so much for your commitment to our NSA-North Florida Chapter! We are going to have a wonderful year! I have always thought that leadership has to be both fun and efficient to be truly productive. My promise to you is that we will plan an outstanding year for our chapter, get to know each other really well, grow our membership, create a strong sense of family, and have a great time in the process!

On September 4th, we will host our first board meeting of our new 2009-2010 year. While this first meeting will be face-to-face, we will plan to have some of our board meetings via conference callS if that is more convenient for the group. Please plan to join us as your ideas will help shape our chapter for the months and years to come. Out of respect for your time, we will start the meeting promptly and end on/or before 12:30.
