Greetings Brothers & Sweethearts,
Welcome to the 2014 Gulf Coast Region Spring Regional Conference in Daytona Beach FL, where the sunshine is soaked up with waves of laughter and there will be as much to do on the beach as there will be to do off the beach. The regional conference committee is working vigorously to bring you a dynamic Regional Conference that aligns with the Region's Strategic Plan of Scholastic Achievement, Community Engagement, Professional Development, Sustainability, and last, but not least, Brotherhood.
