PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Jeremiah Slaymaker President 850.556.6065 jeremiah.slaymaker@ wantmangroup.com R eady or not, Summer Time is here! For many of you, I hope this allows for an opportunity to take a well-deserved vacation with your family. Maybe this trip could be over to Naples in August! Marilyn and I had the pleasure of taking a quick trip down to a recent Palm Beach Chapter meeting. On our flight down, I reflected on some of the challenges my family has faced over the past few years. Extensive knee surgery for my son and Type I Diabetes for my daughter have kept me and my wife busy. However, these experiences have truly taught me how you can never take a break from your family. Even on those rainy Sunday afternoons, while enjoying a pay-per-view movie, if a family member suddenly requires a trip to the pharmacy on the other side of town, you simply do it, no questions asked………….you never take a break from your family. This same philosophy caused me to think about my experience with FSMS. Our Society has always been there for me. Whether it was through scholarship support in Gainesville (many years ago!) or the endless Chapter support during my travels through the State, FSMS never took a break. Furthermore, our Society does not take a break from continuously monitoring legislative activity; we do not take a break from being the #1 Education Provider; we do not take a break from establishing and strengthening our relationship with our regulatory board, FES, Farm Bureau, and countless other important organizations; and lastly and most importantly, we do not take a break from supporting our local Chapters (our true foundation). I realize everyone is busy right now and I will never ask anyone to sacrifice the time required for your family or career. However, I will ask you to always keep our Society as a priority. For each of you, this will be accomplished differently. Some of you may find opportunities by going into the office a little earlier one morning to take care of those applications for an upcoming Chapter golf tournament. While others may find a little spare time on a rainy Sunday afternoon to gather the raffle tickets needed for a scholarship fund raiser. Regardless of how you do it, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR SOCIETY! 2011-2012 OFFICERS Ken Glass President-Elect 863.646.4771 kglass@civilsurv.com Dan Ferrans Immediate Past President 727.461.6113 ddf@polaris-survey.com Russell Hyatt Vice President 941.748.4693 russell@hyatt-survey.com Dale Bradshaw Secretary 904.829.2591 dbradshaw@bradshawniles.com Bon Dewitt Treasurer 352.392.6010 bon@ufl.edu Photo courtesy of Waldorf Astoria Naples The Florida Surveyor July 2012 4
