President's Message
Welcome to another year in the history of the Florida Council
for Exceptional Children (FCEC) professional organization. The
organization was founded on April 5, 1946 at the Florida
Education Association meeting held in Tampa, Florida. During
the past 63 years, the organization has grown from seven members
to thousands throughout the state.
I
look forward to serving as the 2009-2010 President of FCEC.
I have been a member of CEC since 1994 and have participated as
a student, a high school teacher, and a college professor. I
have been a board member of FCEC since 2007 and am honored to be
your President this year.
We
have many exciting things planned for this year, particularly
the
2009 FCEC annual conference
to be held at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort on
October
8-10.
I hope each of you will be able to attend. We have fantastic
speakers lined up, particularly of note:
Cheryl and
Rebecca Hines, Bambi Lockman
from Florida DOE, and
Tom E.C. Smith.
In addition we have many informational and entertaining
activities planned and I hope to personally have the chance to
meet you.
Particularly in these difficult times, your dedication to the
education of children with exceptionalities is to be commended.
We, together, are part of a large network of partners in this
effort. The Florida division is well represented by you and a
very talented group of board members who serve on your behalf. I
am honored to present the 2009-2010 FCEC Board. Please feel
free to contact any board member, and you may contact me at
