Professional Associations
The FBC's leaders, and especially all of our Service Area Leads have been working hard over the years throughout the various industries of local government in Florida and nationwide to both establish and improve partnerships between the FBC and all of the associated professional organizations involved in an effort to bring about collaborative leadership which spans the various organizations, strengthens the FBC and indeed lifts up each of these professional associations at the same time.
The following links to professional association websites are related to the service areas measured by the FBC. If you are aware of other applicable professional associations that are not on this list and possibly should be added, please contact the FBC Executive Director to share your suggestions at: sboyer@flbenchmark.org
