CASTLE Memory Field

GlobalMind employees, friends and family participated in the 4th Annual STOMP out Child Abuse Festival to benefit the CASTLE exchange club.  We wanted to participate in the Festival because if we can help save one child from abuse, it is all worth it. The team was able to raise about $500 for CASTLE.

CASTLE’s (Child Abuse Services, Training and Life Enrichment) mission is to “improve the quality of family life and prevent child abuse and neglect by providing community education, support and resources for parents in need of assistance.”   To learn more about CASTLE, please visit http://www.exchangecastle.org.

Our very own Kim Albritton will give a talk on using Google Earth for Small Businesses at the St. Lucie County Business Development Board on February 14.

I was an invited speaker at the Palm Beach County Legislative Forum hosted jointly by the American Planning Association-Florida, Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Florida Engineering Society and the Florida Surveying and Mapping Society.

As the current chairman of the Legislative Committee for the Florida Surveying and Mapping Society, I had the opportunity to update the 300 attendees on FSMS’s legislative activities including:

• The privatization of the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers.
• The expansion of the UF Geomatics program.
• The strengthening of the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (Ch. 287.055 F.S.).
• The danger of the Hometown Democracy ballot initiative.

It was fun and I got to connect with a lot of old friends.
