Julie Platt, APR, CPRC, CWC-FPRA President 2010-2011
Where are you now?
Still living in Sarasota. I have worked at Sunnyside Village as a Marketing and Sales Specialist since 2011.
What FPRA means to you?
Joining FPRA in 2005 impacted my career in many ways and was a game-changer. FPRA allowed me to develop and grow in areas of leadership, introduced me to fantastic networking opportunities and colleagues, and afforded regular learning opportunities. Being a member is an honor, and while I may not always be as involved now, I do look for opportunities to engage when possible.
What was your biggest accomplishment or Ah-ha moment as president of the CWC-
FPRA?
The chapter had several significant achievements, including conducting a membership survey; implementing the Square Up application for payments at meetings, and partnering with the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance for the first time to reach Manatee County professionals.
