Highlight

We will be highlighting a different member each week to share

"what it means to be a member of FACC" for that person.

Today, enjoy reading about Cheri Smith, MMC, CPM, City

Clerk, City of Key West.

I relocated to Key West from Corpus Christi, Texas in 1988 and I

started working for the City of Key West in 1993 as an

administrative assistant to the assistant city manager. In 1996 I

was promoted to executive assistant to the city manager. In 1999 my predecessor

suddenly passed away. The city manager encouraged me to apply for the city clerk’s job. I

was shocked when I was chosen by the Key West City Commission and on May 4, 1999, I

was sworn in as the city clerk. Read More

2019-2020 FACC Committees Highlighted

Within the next few months, we will be highlighting your FACC Committees in the FACC

Weekly Newsletter. You can learn what each committee's responsibilities are, and

hopefully you will be interested in serving on a committee in the future.

Today, we feature the Awards/Scholarships Committee and the By-Laws/Manual

Revisions Committee.

Awards/Scholarships Committee

This committee reviews applications for FACC scholarships and awards.

The scholarships are issued to members for the Summer Conference and Academy, Fall

Academy and the Annual IIMC Conference. After reviewing the scholarship applications,

the committee makes recommendations to the Board for final approval at the February or

March Board conference calls. Don't leave money on the table! Apply for scholarships to

attend FACC's premier events. Seven Summer Conference and Academy scholarships

and two Fall Academy scholarships were awarded in 2019. Will your name be on that list

for 2020?

The awards are presented to members at the Summer Conference and Academy. There

are three awards total, including the City Clerk of the Year Award, the President's Award

and the Robert N. Clark Award. Start thinking now about a worthy FACC member you

could nominate for these prestigious awards. It only takes a little effort, but will leave a

lasting impression on the winners!

Look for information for both scholarships and awards later this fall.

the issues surrounding homelessness and learn about strategic approaches to ending

homelessness used by the most successful communities. The event is free for League
