A Note from the FMA PresidentDear FMA Members, This year we received a historic number of Charlie entries—almost 600! I say this often, but it still rings true: The talent, creativity and innovation that exists in the Florida magazine industry never ceases to amaze me. A huge thank you to all who participated in our membership survey. We heard your recommendations and suggestions and are implementing many of the topics you proposed to the conference agenda. We are also looking to bring you more webinars. If you are interested in participating as a webinar speaker or attendee, please send an email to ktower@flpress.com. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new FMA members:
Also, be sure to read the rest of the newsletter for more information on the Leadership Conversations + Capstone series, 2022 Charlie Award finalists, board of directors’ openings, how your magazine can be highlighted on FMA social media and more. As we approach mid-year, a highlight for me will be reconnecting once again with many of you during the 2022 Florida Media Conference and mingling with the best in the publishing industry during the prestigious Charlie Award Gala. Be sure to register for the early-bird conference discount! Congratulations to all the award finalists this year! We cannot wait to see what you all do this coming year. ![]() Karla Monterrosa-Yancey ![]()
