Consortium of Florida Education Foundations SAC Panelist
What an honor it was to be a panelist for the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations at their Strategic Advisory Council. These are an impressive group of professionals and stakeholders from throughout Florida and the nation helping to assist in supporting our schools through our Education Foundations. We shared and collaborated about meeting the needs of our students, schools, and community
ies. I spent time bragging about our own local Citrus County Education Foundation and our community partners and the work we do together for our Citrus County students and schools. It was clear Citrus is a positive model around the state and nation.
