What's New in the FAA
Adventure is calling YOU to come hear a speaker from the renowned Disney Institute and a champion of the Discovery Channel's Eco Challenge when they address more than 1,300 of your colleagues at Camp FAA, the 2017 FAA Annual Conference & Trade Show October 11-13 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista.
 
Because of several conflicts with local affiliates, the dates for the May meetings have been changed to May 8 and 9.
 
At the Florida Apartment Association’s Leadership Lyceum Module I, members of local affiliates gathered to learn, brainstorm, and grow. Before students broke off into brainstorming groups, they took part in an icebreaker and listened to an introduction to the power of associations. The main takeaway from the introduction was that the strength of FAA, and any association, is the sense of ownership and involvement of its members. To fortify this idea, Lyceum students separated into groups to brainstorm ideas about the future of FAA and its local affiliates.
 
All FAA members are invited to join a call hosted by FAA government affairs director Courtney Barnard and FAA lobbyist Kelly Mallette on Thursday, March 2, at 2 p.m.
 
Kick off the 2017 FAA Annual Conference & Trade Show in style by attending Food, Wine, and Fireworks, an APAC Celebration at Epcot. Tickets include private transportation to Epcot and an evening of drinks, desserts, and a breathtaking viewing spot for Disney's 'IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth' fireworks spectacular.
 
Management members of the Florida Apartment Association are eligible for a discounted registration fee of $675 for the 2017 NAA Education Conference & Exposition. Learn more about the event here.

What's New Nationally
There are mere subtle differences between the assumed personality traits of Millennials and their younger counterparts Generation Z (individuals born between the mid-1990s and 2010). Tech-friendly? Yes. Tech-dependent? Oh yeah, totally. Expects an immediate response? Absolutely. Wants to do every single thing online or through a mobile device? Roger that.
 
It’s time to Apartmentalize, which means taking your career, your team and your business to the next level. You can do it all at the apartment housing industry’s largest, most important annual gathering — the NAA Education Conference & Exposition — convening June 21-24 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

For years, we’ve heard about the mass movement of both businesses and individuals from the suburbs to the city, but recent exclamations of "The suburbs aren’t dead!" warrant a closer look into what the data have to say.
