SUBJECT: FLORIDA PARTNERS IN EDUCATION CONFERENCE
It is my pleasure to announce the Florida Partners in Education Conference, hosted by the Florida
Department of Education and the Florida Association of Partners in Educa
tion, which will take place
April 18-20, 2007, at the Bayfront Hilton in St. Petersburg, Florida. This year’s theme, “Winds of
Change,”
is reflective of the association’s commitment to present the most current issues in
education and community involvement.
All district, school, and community personnel, who are interested in enhancing community
involvement in education, will be in attendance. The workshops and general sessions feature
nationally known speakers, as well as the state’s most knowledgeable practitioners. Lunch and
evening events will honor Florida’s Outstanding School Volunteers, superintendents recognized for
their support of volunteer/community programs, winners of the Commissioner’s Business Recognition
Awards, and winners of the Sunshine Medallion Awards.
For more information or to register, visit the Florida Partners in Education website at www.flpie.net

you at this year’s conference.
