FTBOA’s Powell Named Chair-Elect of FSAE

[Wandering Eyes]

The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association (FTBOA) announced Friday Chief Executive Officer Lonny Powell has been named chair-elect for the 2019-2020 board of directors for the Florida Society of Association Executives (FSAE). Founded in 1959, the FSAE is a Sunshine State resource for information, best practices, and innovations in the association community. At nearly 1,200 members, the FSAE offers opportunities for peer-to-peer networking and professional development education that prepares chief executive officers and staff for their positions.

“FTBOA’s engaged membership provides a fantastic opportunity to promote and advocate our industry and Marion County on a state-wide basis to a top tier and influential executives from a myriad of Florida industries outside of our usual horse and agricultural and local sectors,” said Powell. “FSAE membership, like that in the FTBOA, can be a mutually beneficial experience if you put in the work.”

Powell represents the sole FSAE board member from Marion County and Central Florida and the only one whose association is agricultural- or gaming-based. Currently serving as a director, treasurer, and Governance chair, Powell will be automatically elevated to chairman of the FSAE in 2021.

In 2015, the FSAE honored the FTBOA with its inaugural Association of the Year award, given to a Florida non-profit, trade, and/or service membership association for outstanding service, programs, recognition, and success.
