ROC board members can meet their board certification requirement by attending the 6th Annual Community Association Festival at the Venice Community Center on February 17, 2016.   Registration with a free continental breakfast starts at 8:30 a.m.  There will be several informative and entertaining speakers featured from 9 a.m. until 11:45 a.m.  We’ll break for a free barbecue lunch at 11:45 and then separate after lunch (and prize drawings) into three groups for specific board certification training that will start at 1:30 p.m..  I’ll be doing the training for board members of cooperative associations and two other community association attorneys will be training board members of condominium associations and mandatory homeowners associations.  

The entire event is free and even if you don’t need to meet the certification requirement, the opportunities to learn from our speakers–including one of analysts with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes–and network with ROC members from the area should not be missed.  Who knows, you may even win one of the door prizes!

Here’s the link to register for the event.  Seating is limited and RSVP’s are thus needed by no later than February 12.

I hope to see you in your "Mardi Gras" attire at the Venice Community Center on February 17!
