🎉 Congratulations to Clare Sanshie! 🎉

We’re proud to recognize Clare Sanshie, Special Events Coordinator for the City of North Port, as one of this year’s FFEA Scholarship recipients!

Clare brings passion, professionalism, and heart to every event she touches. A proud Central Michigan University graduate with a background in recreation and event management, she’s dedicated to building inclusive, community-driven experiences that uplift and inspire.

“Events are how I connect with the community—bringing people together, sparking joy, and creating memories that last.”
Before joining her current team, Clare organized over 25 campus events at CMU and interned with the City of Sterling Heights, where her love for municipal events truly took flight. Today, she’s setting her sights on leadership—dreaming big about city-wide celebrations that bring communities closer and elevate the impact of public service.

“This conference is my opportunity to grow as a leader, learn best practices, and meet mentors who’ve been where I want to go.”
Scholarships like Clare’s aren’t just a reward for today—they’re an investment in the future of our industry. 💡 With your support, we can continue to empower emerging leaders like Clare who are shaping the next chapter of event planning in Florida and beyond.

🎒 Pack Smart for the Conference – Don’t Forget That Sweater! 🧥

Heading to the conference soon? Let’s talk strategy—packing strategy.

Whether you’re a roll-your-shirts or fold-into-cubes kind of traveler, one thing’s for sure: layers are your best friend. Conference venues love their air conditioning a little too much, and you know it’s going to be chilly in those ballrooms. Even if it’s blazing outside, inside is a whole different climate zone.

✅ Essentials to Pack Smart:

A jacket or cozy sweater – seriously, you’ll thank yourself.
Comfy shoes for navigating massive expo halls and long days on your feet.
Snacks or a water bottle to stay fueled and hydrated.
Chargers, a power bank, and maybe a notepad for those “aha!” moments.
Something business casual for networking events (but still comfy!).
And hey—don’t forget to pack something fancy for Casino Night! 🃏✨ It’s your chance to channel your inner high roller, so bring a little glam and get ready for a night of fun.
Being cold is distracting. Being prepared is empowering. Travel smart, dress warm, and focus on soaking up the sessions and connections—not shivering through them.

See you there—warm, sharp, and ready to roll the dice!
