The 2004 FBT Leadership Retreat, July 15 & 16 in Orlando, was a complete success! Lt. Governor Toni Jennings, CFO Tom Gallagher, U.S. Senate Candidate Mel Martinez, State Senator Dan Webster and State Representative Leslie Waters all spoke to the large crowd gathered at the Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld. National political commentator Charlie Cook both enlightened and entertained during his outstanding speech, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the amazing "Tropical" Dinner Reception. Below are the final retreat agenda, a list of retreat sponsors, copies of presentations given at the 2004 Retreat, and some great photos as well.
