Update From the FALI Board

Dear Members:

This past weekend, we completed the FALI-U and FALI Bootcamp in Cocoa Beach.  Both were extremely successful, and had the highest attendance since we began to offer these free professional educational programs to the members 3 years ago.  

While in our quarterly meeting, while in executive session, the board received the unexpected resignations of two area directors, Ollie Phipps from the Orlando area, and Ann Tenpenney from the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. FALI respects their decisions, greatly appreciates their contributions to the association, and wishes each of them continued success. Their respective positions have already been filled on an interim basis, until the next general election in the Spring.

In addition, Alan Moffatt has been removed by the Board and is no longer serving as President.  I will be filling this position for the remainder of the current term ensuring that FALI will continue with business as usual. As always, we encourage any qualified member who is interested in running for a position on the Board of Directors to send an email to admin@fali.org.

Although FALI is in a remarkably strong financial position, as we have amassed in excess of $100k in revenues, the board decided to retain a CPA to perform a comprehensive 4-year audit of all our financial records. The Board thought this was advisable to assure we are being careful stewards of the membership’s funds, and to secure any recommendations to improve our current policies and procedures.  As with all FALI financials, members are entitled to review the CPA’s final report and recommendations and it will be posted on the website immediately upon receipt.

The board is very satisfied that FALI continues to grow and prosper with our membership now almost 800 strong, making us at least the third, and likely the second, largest Association of Private Investigators in the entire United States!


Sincerely,

Michael R. Cole
FALI President
