FCCMA Onsite Trainings

The FCCMA Onsite Training Session Program has been one of the most successful methods of training. Past and Current FCCMA Presidents have been particularly interested in the success of this program and have advocated for localized training in government facilities.

The purpose of the Onsite Training Session Program is threefold: reduce travel training costs for local government participants, eliminate training facility overhead costs, and provide a forum for local government administrators and staff to obtain hands-on training on current and pending local government issues. Even though the purpose of these trainings is to reduce travel these trainings are open to everyone across the state.

All onsite training sessions are either a half-day session or full-day session with lunch included for both. For more information, please contact FCCMA staff at [email protected].

Program Summary:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) for government operations has become a reality in 2026. Local governments are considering how best to incorporate AI platforms to improve service delivery by assessing their policies, procedures, and available resources to ensure use of this technology is practical, applicable, and implementable. A panel of local government managers in southwest Florida will convene at FGCU to discuss the implications of AI, both in terms of challenges and opportunities and learn from each other’s experiences to date. This will be an informal discussion among the panelists. Attendees of this program will have plenty of opportunities to engage with the panelists by offering their own insights and posing questions for discussion.

Panelists:

  • Terry Atchley, FCCMA President
  • Jerome Fletcher, City Manager, North Port
  • Hector Flores, County Administrator, Charlotte County
  • Michael Ilczyszyn, City Manager, Cape Coral
  • Casey Lucius, City Manager, Marco Island
  • William McKannay, Town Manager, Fort Myers Beach

This panel represents diversity in terms of urban, rural, city, county, and economic. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and offer their own insights on this important issue.
