FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF 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 Education, which will take place
April 15-17, 2009, at the Daytona Beach Hilton Resort, Daytona Beach, Florida. This year’s theme,
“Stayin’ Alive 35,”
is reflective of the association’s thirty-five
most current issues in education and community involvement.
All district, school, and community personnel who are interested in enhancing community involvement in
education are invited. 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 for their support of volunteer/community programs, and exemplary
business partners at the Commissioner’s Business Recognition Awards.
For more information or to register, visit the Florida Partners in Education Web site at www.flpie.net or
contact Susan Walton at the Bureau of Family and Community Outreach at Susan.Walton@fldoe.org.
