Pioneer Certification

The deadline has passed and our Florida Pioneer Program for 2005 has closed.  All applications Certificates have been submitted and reviewed. 

Our Review Teams are wrapping up the final paperwork and congratulating those Applicants who were approved.  There are Applicants who applied for only one certificate and those that applied for several at once.  Those Applicants approved will be receiving their Certificates in November at the FSGS Annual Conference Pioneer Banquet on Friday, November 11, 2005 in Panama City Beach, FL.    We will be awarding certificates for State, County, Researcher and Memorial applicants.  It is an exciting event and we hope to see you there, so be sure to send in your registration.

If you are one of the Applicants approved, then we say well done and be sure to bring your family to see you accept your Certificate(s).  If you are still working on your application, the deadline for submissions for 2006 is June 30^th.

Each year, our reviewers learn more about Florida and the people who made our history.  It is important to note that our Pioneer Committee is a totally volunteer group and we would like to thank our committee.
