2009 FLASLA Annual Meeting
July 23-July 25, 2009
Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
Ft. Myers, FL

The Florida Chapter ASLA Executive Committee and the Conference Committee is pleased to announce that the 2009 FLASLA Annual Conference and Expo will be held at the Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa on July 23, 2009 through July 25, 2009. The Southwest Florida Section welcomes you to Fort Myers, for the 43rd Annual Florida Chapter ASLA Meeting and Expo! We invite you to refresh, renew and re-energize yourself at the wonderful Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa. Designing off the Grid is an appropriate theme for this year’s conference given the urgency to reduce energy consumption and because Fort Myers is the home of Thomas Edison: the father of the “The Grid.” Besides, where else can you get all the CEC’s you might need for just our $220 member early-bird registration fee. ASLA has also secured a special room rate for all attendees…don’t miss out. Now is the time to sign up!
