Fall 2017

“CHANGING TIMES”

Our Fall meeting was held Sept 20-22, 2017.

As we close out the year with a great meeting at the

Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando. Fl. I

would like to thank all of the Speakers, Vendors, Volun-

teers, Board Members and ANFP Members for attending

our Spring and Fall Workshops. Without your support we

couldn’t do this. As President of the Fl. Chapter I look

forward to continue to grow our attendance back at our

meetings, by communicating with various Healthcare

Companies and Executive Directors to help allocate

funds so our CDM’s can attend.

I’m looking forward to working with our Pres.-Elect 2017 Executive Board

Darrell Brock CDM,CFPP. So we can together as a Team achieve great success with our Workshops.

This year we learned a lot about our industry from all of our speakers. We hope our fellow CDM’s

shared this with their Staff and Companies they work for. As President I look forward to growing and

working together with the Executive Team starting now!! Until next meeting, I say Thanks!!!. Mario

From the Desk of the President-Elect

As we now look forward to rejuvenating ourselves. I look forward to working

with everyone, hearing any ideas or suggestions on how we can elevate our

organization to new levels. I have only three goals, I would like to focus on. 1]

Improving the number of members attending our workshops.

2] To work on getting our districts to attend the

state workshops. 3] Better communications be-

tween not only the State Executives but the dis-

trict executive board as well. Thank you again

for allowing me the pleasure of serving as your President-Elect/

program chair. Lets make this a fun and knowledgeable journey.

Respectfully, President-Elect Darrell E. Brock

From the Ink well of the Incoming Secretary’s Desk

My name is Haruna Nail, Currently, I work for Opis at the Indian River Center

in West Melbourne. I transferred to Florida from Virginia in the summer

2015. In Virginia, I had the pleasure of briefly serving as Secretary/

Treasurer, Education chair and was next in line for President Elect. I have

worked in food service with elderly populations for the last eleven years. My

desire is to bring the compassion I have with my customers, and enthusiasm

leading my team members to our ANFP Florida Chapter. I hope to share my

experiences while also learning and growing from my fellow professionals. I

look forward to joining the leaders of our Florida Chapter.

A few words from the out going Secretary

After the devastating effects of Hurricane Irma, our chapter was still

able to hold our Fall Workshop in Orlando, Florida. Our meeting was held

at the lovely Florida Hotel and Conference center.

We had over 60 members in attendance. Many were not able to attend

as they were still in the process of recovering from the hurricane.

We are proud to announce our new Executive Board for the 2017-2019

term: Past President Norma Reynolds, President Mario McTier, President –

Elect Darrell Brock, Secretary new comer Haruna Nail, Treasurer Dorinda

Carwell, and Co-Treasurer/Webmaster Jeannie McGovern.

We are pleased to welcome 83 new members and 20 students this

past year. We are disappointed to report the loss of over 300 members due

to replacement on the inactive status. We will continue to reach out to these members to show

support with any needs.

Its been an experience as always serving this wonderful chapter. I will continue to volunteer as

Co-Treasurer and Webmaster.
