President's Message

Welcome back!

Fall is such a wonderful time of new beginnings mixed with recommitment to prior goals after the excitement and whirlwind of summer. This fall holds the beginning of an awesome membership year for HCDA, and an opportunity to recommit to learning and camaraderie.

We will start off the year on September 9^th with a kickoff party at American Social. Bring yourself and a guest and come enjoy an evening of fun on the Tampa waterfront. This will be a great opportunity to reunite everyone and enjoy an evening of camaraderie.

This year, we are excited to add a new meeting location to our mix. The November meeting will be held at TopGolf, in their meeting room. We will hold the September and January meetings at Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club, and will return to Carrollwood Country Club in March. We will wrap up the year with an end of year celebration and officer installation in May.

In addition to great continuing education, we will have multiple social events this year. We are planning to team up with neighboring societies as well, to make for even more fun opportunities to network, as well as new venues to enjoy. We hope to offer even more opportunity to mingle and connect with both colleagues and sponsors, allowing ample opportunity to grow and serve you and your practices. Our Association exists to serve its members, and we encourage you to invite a colleague to a social event or meeting this year!

We can’t wait to see you all this year!
