Testimonial
Good morning everyone, since our organization, the Florida Community Association Journal is unable to attend this year’s annual Yearly Educational Summit, Betsy has been so kind to let us provide a written introduction.
I first want to begin by expressing to Betsy how grateful we are that she has allowed us to participate as a media sponsor for this event. I am not 100% correct on this but upon reviewing our magazine archives, Betsy has participated in providing the magazine with educational content since August of 2000, and she can correct me on this, but possibly longer.
She is probably blushing as she reads this, but we cannot thank her enough for her assistance in helping us educate the masses for the past 26 years with her experience, insight, and willingness to share her God gifted ability to communicate with words. Whether you are a board member or a manager you will have the opportunity the next two days to receive some great “take aways”, little bits of information to make you better at your role or position and improve the community with which you live or work.
For us AI has been around for 26 years as I personally consider Betsy one of our “AI” resources in this industry, I’m not sure there is a question she cannot answer. We often receive the most unusual questions from our readership, which we will forward to Betsy who in turn responds with an appropriate answer.
Our publication will be celebrating its 40th year in print in January of 2027. Although I am currently the publisher for this publication, I do not feel like it is mine so to speak. I truly believe the publication just represents all the professionals that seek to improve the Florida community association industry. Yes, there are some bad actors in this industry, every industry has them, and there are service providers that seek to overly profit and take advantage of community associations, but there are also a lot of good service providers that their intentions are in the best interest of the community associations that hire them. One of your jobs is to find and vet these different companies. Do your homework.
I would also like to thank the other sponsors for their support of this year’s educational event. Yes, it's an investment for the exposure opportunity, but it’s also an investment in your education.
If you are currently not receiving a copy of the Florida Community Association Journal and you would like to, then please simply send an email to rjohns@fcapgroup.com, provide your name and mailing address and we will be glad to send you a one-year complimentary subscription delivered straight to your address.
Thank you again Betsy and we hope you have a great learning experience in the next two days.
Richard Johns

Betsy, I wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for extending your professional talents to our group for the past two days. Your professional attitude and your ability to instruct and teach are qualities to be admired. It is very clear to see you are dedicated to our profession and have the professional knowledge to go with it. It was an extreme pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet you and to be a part of this group. If you should need anything in the future, please know that you can count on me. My best to you and your future success in training our future managers. It is professionals such as yourself that make the difference, carry the torch forward, and allow a better understanding of what is needed to improve our industry.
You are the best.
