Once a year, Convention of States Florida leaders schedule, plan, and coordinate a state meet-up.
The event drew many patriots from across the state on June 2-3. We descended upon Valencia Community College in Orlando as a central gathering place for the fifth annual event.
We had the honor of meeting with Rodney Huckleberry, the Regional Director for Passed States. He gave us opening comments, some history, and updates on other states. He also took quite a few questions from the audience. Everyone was very grateful to meet him and get to know him.
The team also received a website training session from Jason Girard. He inspired everyone on what to do and how to do it.
The Convention of States Florida State Strategy Meeting is a time to consider and review our weaknesses, dig out solutions, and plan goals for the coming year.
The team broke out into various groups to discuss Legislative Plans, Growth and Development, Communications, and Education Initiatives.
The patriots attending the meeting were energized with encouragement and vision, and equipped with new goals, the latest tech and communication support, and renewed determination to pledge "Our Lives, Our Fortunes and Our Sacred Honor" to secure liberty for the next generation.
Congratulations to our great Florida patriots. Awards were presented to:
