WELCOME GREETINGS CONFERENCE ATTENDEES
Welcome to Orlando and the 2026 Florida Public Employer Labor Relations Association Annual Conference!
On behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors of the Association, it is our distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 52nd Annual FPELRA Conference. We are thrilled to gather with passionate professionals, visionary leaders, and dedicated community advocates who share a commitment to public sector labor relations. My hope is that this conference will provide you with guidance, skills, and a network you can use in your everyday life as a labor relations professional. Serving as President of FPELRA over the past year has been a great honor. I am grateful and thrilled to have had the opportunity to represent this incredible organization. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or attending for the first time, we invite you to take full advantage of the opportunities this conference provides. Also, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to our well-respected speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors, who make this one of the most coveted public employer conferences in the state and without whom this conference would not be made possible. Your presence at this conference reinforces your commitment to the association, our craft, and our belief that partnership develops results.
I also want to recognize our Officers and Board of Directors who have provided me with so much support. I am deeply appreciative of all of them for their tireless work and contributions over this year and for helping to make this conference a premier event in our profession. In closing, I hope that you have a very productive conference. The opportunity to learn and connect with professionals all throughout the state is invaluable to your overall development and network. Let’s have a great time and go back to our jurisdictions ready to work.
