CEOAPBC Membership,
Our next training opportunity, good for 2 F.A.C.E. CEUs, will be Thursday, May 14th from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, at the Solid Waste Authority, 7501 N. Jog Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33412. The training will consist of a presentation and tour presented by Cathryn Sprague of the SWA of Palm Beach County. The tour and presentation will provide Code Enforcement professionals with an overview of the solid waste authority's process, including neighborhood garbage collection, waste handling and conversion at the renewable energy facility. Attendees will learn how these operations relate to code compliance and proper waste management.
RSVP IS REQUIRED* SPACE IS LIMITED TO 45 ATTENDEES. PLEASE RSVP NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, APRIL 28th at 4:00 PM
If you are interested in attending this training, please RSVP to me, [email protected], or by responding to this email. Please plan on arriving 15 minutes early to sign in and to purchase 50/50 tickets. Anyone arriving 15 minutes late or leaving 15 minutes prior to the training block ending will not receive credit for the training. All participants must wear closed-toe shoes and complete a waiver prior to attend. A link will be provided for the waiver after the RSVP closes.
As many of you are aware, we fell just short of a quorum at our annual meeting and were unable to hold elections. The board is now tasked with choosing from a list of very qualified candidates to fill vacancy(ies) on your board. A new board member(s) will be chosen at our board meeting on May 8th, and all who expressed interest will be notified the following week. I will call all those who expressed interest with the results of the board's choice the week of May 11th. Thanks again to all those who expressed interest on serving on the board of directors. It is nice to see so much interest and enthusiasm. It is very motivating for me, as a board member, to know so many want to be part of the continued success of your chapter's board!
Lastly , I have been contacted by a few of you who may be short CEUs for your certification. Keep in mind, the best way to achieve your CEUs is to regularly attend training sessions provided by your chapter or to attend The F.A.C.E. Conference in June. Your chapter plans on providing at least 2 training opportunities, including this one, totaling 4 CEUs between now and October 1st. If you are in the position where you may need more credits, you can contact me at the number below and I may be able to help.
See you on May 14th!
Joe Petrick
President, Code Enforcement Officers Association of Palm Beach County
