Leadership Florida

Had a “but for Leadership Florida” experience in Tallahassee today, visiting the Capitol and the historic Florida Supreme Court. Incredible to walk through these halls where so much of Florida’s history has been made.

I am so fortunate I was accepted to Leadership Florida Education Class 9! The past three days in Tallahassee were the beginning of my journey with 44 amazing professionals in education and two inspiring co-chairs. My bucket is full, my heart is happy, and my mind is inspired. Thank you to the Director of Class programs, Class Programs Manager, and the organization’s CEO & president for making this experience possible. I am also grateful for the Sarasota Middle School SAC Committee and PTSO for covering the expenses for my substitute so I could participate. I truly cannot wait until our next meeting in a few weeks.
