Orlando Chapter Florida Staffing Association Kickoff Event

The Orlando Chapter Florida Staffing Association Kickoff Event hosted by Andrea Clarkson and Kim Hochstetler was a success. The chapter has been dormant for quite some time, so it was exciting to see recognized leaders from the local staffing industry in attendance and eager about banding together to work toward common industry goals. Others in attendance included job seekers hoping to shake hands with local hiring managers and representatives from the Orlando Business Journal and OrlandoJobs.com.

The local chapter is looking forward to many more successful meeting and is hoping to make this a monthly occurrence. We will be posting the details of our next event shortly. Please join us on our local Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000300812815) and website (http://www.floridastaffing.org) for updates.

The Orlando Chapter of the Florida Staffing Association Rebuilds

The Orlando Chapter was at one time one of the most productive chapters in the Florida Staffing Association. When the economy started to decline unfortunately so did membership participation. Uncertainty and fears about the stability of their field made members shy away from participating; which is both sad and ironic as it is our goal to band together and protect the future of the industry.



With temporary staffing on the rise and employment legislature becoming an increasingly hot topic we thought today's market place was the perfect time to rebuild the local chapter. The efforts to rebuild the chapter will be spearheaded by its new Chapter Leaders Andrea Clarkson of Pro Image Solutions and Kim Hochstetler of Spartan Staffing. We will be holding a casual mixer and meet and greet at Ember in Downtown Orlando from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on August 18th. Anybody who is interested in learning more about FSA is welcome to attend.

Warm Regards,
