2008 FPEA Leaders Forum: Thursday, May 22
Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, Orlando, Florida



 
 
 
 

          If you’re a local homeschool leader, then Thursday, May 22, from 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be a time just for you. The annual Leaders Forum will once again feature its distinct blend of training, encouragement and networking. Programs elements will be tailored to leaders of support groups, nontraditional private schools and co-ops, and there will also be presentations by members of the FPEA Board of Directors. 

          For the 2008 event, Brenda Dickinson will give a legislative update, Carol Barnier will be on hand for the ladies’ tea, and Phil Downer will speak at the men’s session. Also new for 2008, Shingle Creek will sell breakfast items outside the ballrooms where the event will be held. 

          The Leaders Forum takes place in conjunction with the main Convention, so registration may be done as part of the Convention registration process online at Preregister Online or by using the form.
