Holiday Message from the F.A.C.E. President
A Time for Reflection
As this year comes to a close, many of us will gather with friends and families to enjoy all the various holiday festivities and traditions. If you’re traveling during this season please be safe and know we look forward to your return. As you look back on the year remember those you have helped through education and personal interaction. The important work you do on a daily basis helps to build better communities.
As we prepare for the new year, I fear it will continue to be one with more financial challenges. I encourage each of you to start each day with a positive attitude and a fresh look. Attitude is very contagious and impacts those with whom you contact, both co-workers and customers alike; make sure it is a positive, encouraging, and helpful experience. Multi-tasking and efficiencies must not cause us to lose focus or forget the basics. Take time to listen and not just hear. Education works both ways so be open for new ideas that present themselves. Be safe, you are important to us and others around you.
Next year will be a great year for you and our organization!
Here is a Wish for a Safe and Happy Holiday Season and a Prosperous New Year,
Mark K. Caskie
President
Florida Association of Code Enforcement
Sergeant David Enzbrenner
