I hope you’re enjoying a safe and restful summer. As we look ahead, there are several exciting opportunities for connection, learning, and professional development.
First, I hope you’ve already registered for the 2025 ICMA Annual Conference, which will take place October 25–29 at the Tampa Convention Center. This event brings together local government professionals from around the globe to exchange ideas, strengthen leadership skills, and build lasting networks. We’re also pleased to share that FCCMA will host a reception on Monday, October 27, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at American Social on Harbour Island Blvd. Registration will open soon. We hope you’ll join us for a great evening of camaraderie with your fellow members.
FCCMA Committees have begun planning training and development program opportunities for the new Program Year. Your input is essential to this process. If you have ideas for conference sessions, please send your suggestions to the FCCMA staff at [email protected]. Your voice helps shape meaningful and relevant programming.
The FCCMA Short-Form Video Showcase is returning this year, offering cities and counties a chance to spotlight what makes their communities unique. The committee is finalizing the theme now, with more details coming next month—start thinking about how your team might take part!
Finally, don’t miss our upcoming Free Coaching Webinar on Wednesday, August 7, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., titled “Best Uses of Opioid Settlement Monies.” Whether you work in public safety, public health, finance, or administration, this session will provide valuable context and tools to help your community make the most of these critical resources.
