Welcome!
Welcome to our newest Board members: Elva Peppers of Florida Environmental and Land Services, Matt Solomon of Solomon Construction, and Josh Roberts of Eli Roberts and Sons.
Our April meeting was a huge success. Our Guest Speaker was Davisson Dunlap, III, of the law firm of Dunlap & Shipman. P.A. of Tallahassee FL. His power point presentation on Florida (and Federal) Construction Lien & Bond Law “The Contractor’s key to the Court House” was most informative and a very timely presentation. The presentation is included below in PDF format for your convenience.
