History IsMade At 2012 FMHA Convention Although the FMHA has been in existence since 1945, there has never been a woman elected as president of the association….until now. Cyndi King, Blair Group's Director of Sales and Marketing, was elected FMHA's President at the 2012 Annual Convention in Orlando. She began her career working with Larry Maxwell and CRF Communities. She worked with CRF for nine years before joining Bob Young and Blair Group where she has been for 20 years. Cyndi was in office for a couple of hours and already had a pretty clear vision on where she'd like the FMHA to go in the next few years.Her address to Convention attendees is included in this newsletter.

The president will serve a two-year term while the other officers will serve a one-year term. Congratulations to the new Association leadership.
