FLAVA President’s Message – July 2023
Greetings, FLAVA Members!

It’s time to start thinking about FLAVA 2023! I am so excited to see each of you at our new venue, the Norfolk Waterside Marriott in Norfolk, VA.

This year I am so excited to welcome Ben Tinsley as our Keynote Speaker. I had the honor and privilege to meet Ben through my PLC and at ACTFL this past November.
