AABE Florida 15th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament

AABE Florida 20 Years Celebration
2021-12-03
Welcome to the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) Florida Chapter 20th Year celebration.
Our ten founders were given a template outlined by the AABE National organization, but they are the ones that fostered the FL Chapter’s foundation that remains today. They positioned our chapter toward implementing new programs, identifying new ideas, welcoming new executive board members, populating new committees and embracing new challenges.
Annually, we average over 80 members, and AABE FL Chapter members have been at the forefront of cultivating industry professionals to become a more significant resource for their companies and communities.
As AABE’s FL Chapter President, I am grateful to be surrounded by a dedicated executive committee, regional coordinators and devoted members. Thank you for your energy and optimism as we navigated virtually through the 2020 and 2021 COVID-19 pandemic.
To our founders, sponsors, partners and program committees, thank you. Your foresight, investment and your commitment to this organization will assist us in future endeavors.
In closing, our continuous progress depends entirely on our talents, the generosity of our sponsors and the sustainability of our members. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey as we advance our mission.

Sincerely,
Kathy Judkins
President, AABE FL Chapter
