Each year the Chapters have the opportunity to recognize members for outstanding volunteer work and dedication to the swimming pool industry and FSPA. The FSPA presents the Director of the Year to one person in each of the local Chapters. Each Chapter recipient is determined by a vote of the local chapter membership. The award is based on an individual’s leadership in their Chapter as well as commitment and service to the Chapter. If you would like to nominate a member for Director of the Year please submit your nominations to Sonja by December 15. All awards will be announced at the Awards & Welcome Reception on March 3, 2022.

Mark your calendar for January 11, 2022! Erik Szabo, Partner, Board Certified in Construction Law at Shutts & Bowen LLP, will be teaching us about the Fundamentals of Florida Construction Contracts (CILB course #0613190, 1 hr., meets business practice requirement, FPSA d/b/a FSPA CILB providership #0000917). The meeting location is still to be determined.

Our next Chapter Board of Directors meeting, which all members are encouraged to attend, will be Tuesday, November 2 at noon at American Pools & Spas.
