ISM-Central Florida, Inc.

It has been a few months since my last message and we are making some progress. You will soon see some new announcements about events and educational opportunities that we are offering to our members. Timing and effort are everything – and we are trying to be creative in our planning. We have been closely engaged with the Board of Directors for ASCM Space Coast. They are in the same boat as we are and we are collaborating to plan joint events across Central Florida from the Space Coast to Tampa. I’m sure you can imagine the challenges we face while planning and making sure we have great turnouts that members are interested in. So, I ask that you please be patient as we make these arrangements, as I’m sure you find these fun and enjoyable.

In the meantime, we are also working on sending out a survey to gain an understanding of what you, our members, are interested in getting from your ISM—CF membership. We want to make sure that you are getting what you want/need to continue to enhance your professional growth. When you see the survey, please take a few moments to respond – it’s the only way we can make sure we serve YOU.

As a reminder, here are your current ISM—Central Florida Board Members. As you can see, we still have some open positions. Please feel free to reach out to this group should you be interested in helping us revitalize the chapter and make us the best chapter in ISM!
