2009 Annual Conference & Trade Show

Join us at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort, June 15-17, 2009.

Agenda
On Tuesday, June 16, one of our sessions is "Investing in Your Employees - it's more than Financial." One of the speakers will be Dwayne Reece, Corporate Chaplains.

"The most valuable asset of any company is its people and most people spend the bulk of their waking hours on the job.  Even a company’s best employees occasionally have personal problems that can affect their productivity, and thus hurt the company’s bottom line.  Unfortunately, most employees have nowhere to turn in order to deal with their problems and issues.  Corporate Chaplains of America provides full time, certified, career corporate chaplains to care for employees in the workplace 24 hours per day, 7 days per week."

Find out more about the Corporate Chaplains of America at the Conference.

Even though Session is not officially over - they have until Friday - the only remaining bills to be considered are related to the budget. The budget consumed almost all of the debate, and it is still continuing.  It was a brutal year for legislation, with the fewest bills passed by the Legislature in over 10 years. Of the 2,000+ bills filed each year, the Legislature usually passes an average of 422; however, this year they only passed 202.
 
The 21-day sales tax exemption provision for out-of-state residents bringing newly-purchased aircraft into Florida, endorsed by FATA, failed to pass the Legislature.  The bill successfully passed the House, however the Senate refused to hear the bill based upon language in the bill (not connected the 21-day provision) added in the House that allegedly created a negative revenue impact on the State Budget. And, if there ever was a year when having a negative fiscal impact was the "kiss of death" this year was it. The only aviation-related bill to pass was HB 1065 (see below), which allows airport authorities and other entities to take "authorized action . . . for the purpose of protecting human life or aircraft safety from wildlife hazards" (i.e., birds).
