FACM provides a forum for county managers to develop professional relationships, discuss current and future issues affecting counties, and provide mentoring opportunities, education, advice and advocacy on statewide issues.
- Message From The President -
As professional leaders in county government, we are committed to providing and expanding valuable content for our members, peers and colleagues. We are an association of professional administrators with the goal of making our counties amazing places for our residents to live and for visitors to come. We are committed to being a resource to our members regardless of what type of county they serve.
Over the past year, FACM has worked to expand opportunities for county leaders to connect and learn from one another. Going forward, we will continue to learn from each other. One such opportunity revolves around how Florida counties deal with emergency management particularly after learning from COVID and a myriad of natural disasters. Another opportunity deals with lessons to be learned in affordable housing, an ever-present issue for most of Florida. Florida counties are stepping up and leading in ways that are not always understood or recognized, and we want to make sure this is brought to the forefront.
In the end, all our members want to be capable of provide recommendations to our elected County Commissioners and further the vision they have set forward for our individual counties.
Thank you for the honor and privilege to serve as the FACM President, and I look forward to seeing many of you in person at our FACM events.
Jonathan Lewis, FACM President
Sarasota County Administrator
