FAPSC – Florida Association of Post Secondary Schools and Colleges organized this legislative town hall meeting with certain elected officials for their post secondary and private school members to help build a bridge between government officials and the schools. Following the inaugural speech by FAPSC President Sue Edwards, and welcoming remarks on behalf of Arizona College of Nursing Executive Director of Academic Operations – Kristine Furtaw, MBA; the meeting started mainly as a conversational venue between the elected officials and the more than 20 schools attending such meeting.
The main and key elected officials were Senator Ed Hooper from the State of Florida and Sandra Mortham – Former Florida Secretary of State (22nd), in which both of them expressed the importance for the schools to have a very close communication with the government officials such as them and other colleagues.
