Gulf Power received another grant for $1200 this year to support the AWMA scholarship fund. We haven’t awarded two of the scholarships, yet, but the year end projected expenses do include those scholarships being awarded. The Chapter would like to award all scholarships before the end of 2002.

C. Arnold recognized D. Waters and B. McLeod for all of their work on the scholarship program.

The Chapter brings in most of our money from memberships, Technical Conference Registration, Vendor sponsorships of the Annual Meeting.

Brenda Leonard, FDEP “P2” Coordinator
C. Arnold met with B. Leonard to discuss a possible P2 Technical Workshop in lieu of a regular Chapter meeting in January. The meeting will be held at Gulf Power. Meeting will include an icebreaker / brainstorming session to list environmental issues. Each participant will be given 3 different colored dots to prioritize issues. Issues will be prioritized as such and three smaller groups will be formed to address the leading issues. Each group will discuss objectives, funding, etc. The entire group will also need to draft a charter and mission statement. The purpose of the meeting is to get the effort off of the ground.
