This retreat is a unique way for JMI’s Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, Madison Council, Research Advisory Council, Leader Fellows, and top-tier donors from across the region to focus on the liberty movement and future of the sunshine state. We are eager to glean ideas and advisement from individuals who are highly-involved with JMI; therefore, we will conduct engaging interactive sessions to help us further develop policy priorities and issue management strategies.
Themes Include:
The future of the liberty movement
Advancing Florida and liberty into the next generation
Effectively reaching our legislature
Future Florida trends
The free-market future
We hope you can join us!
