Welcome by the 2012 Governor of the Florida Model Legislature

Hello future participants and advisors!

I am very pleased to welcome each of you to the Third Annual Florida Model Legislature Conference.

Florida Model Legislature is a simulation of Government by College, University, and Graduate students led by their peers and young professionals. This is a non-partisan organization which promotes civic education through participation.

At Model Legislature, students take on the role of a Representative, Senator, Lobbyist, or Press Corps Member. Most students who attend are associated with student organizations such as Student Government, Phi Theta Kappa, or Model United Nations, College Republicans and Democrats Clubs, and newly established "Model Legislature" clubs. We ensure the best possible simulation of our government by enlisting directors of each field in our program; executive and legislative branch, and lobbyist and press corps. These directors are young professionals, some upper institution undergraduate students, graduate students, lawyers, and people working constantly at the capitol. The directors oversee the volunteer staff to ensure the best possible simulation of the Government.

This year we are looking forward to another fun an exciting conference. This will truly be a life changing experience that you will never forget. I look forward to seeing you in the Capital City of Tallahassee.   

Sincerely,

S. Gerard Williams Jr
Governor
