Dear Members,
I hope you will join me May 2-5, 2010, for FEMA’s 101st Annual Convention at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in sunny Naples, Florida. This year’s convention, “Sustainability: Beyond the Green,” will help prepare us for the enormous complexity and challenges that lie ahead.
Sustainability is a broad topic which includes social and economic issues, resource and workforce management, community interaction, and customer and client relations. Sustainability is about ensuring the future growth and success of our business by building and strengthening its foundation. It is about expanding without destroying. It is about entering new and emerging markets with long-term goals of continuous business, and providing for a confident workforce and community, all the while ensuring continued profits.
We are pleased to present this year’s exciting program featuring speakers who will help us understand why sustainability is so vital to our industry and how it will carry us into a prosperous future.
In creating this year’s program we are keeping your needs in mind. Once again we will commence the Convention with two full days of committee meetings to enable you to get updates on the most pressing technical and regulatory issues. Tuesday will be dedicated to the program on sustainability, and on Wednesday the Convention concludes with the Annual Business Meeting.
On behalf of the Board of Governors, we look forward to seeing you at FEMA's 101st Annual Convention!
Respectfully,
Joanne Ferrara.
FEMA President
