Florida ACME Workshop 2017 - That's a Wrap!
Thanks to everyone who came out for the 2017 FLA ACME Workshop at Patrick AFB. And an extra special thanks to our sponsors!
We had a great time coming together to talk about all things Military Education - from the golf course to the convention hall. Check out a few fun photos from the events - and visit the Workshop page to see more photos of speakers, vendors, and more.
Important Florida Legislative Update
FL-ACME supports The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) to better serve our military students pursuing online education. Once Florida passes legislation to participate in NC-SARA, Florida will establish a streamlined state level reciprocity process for all Florida higher educational institutions. This will ensure Florida students can continue their educational pursuits with their current school out of state, while ensuring institutions are in compliance with all state regulatory requirements.
FL-ACME asks that all institutions interested in the adoption of NC-SARA share the attached talking points and links to the current House and Senate bills. Senate Bill 668 has been filed and the House companion is HB 859.
For additional information on NC-SARA, please visit:
