Get Involved

Join the SMPS North Florida members who have enhanced their careers and built relationships with others in their industry. Here's what a few members have to say about SMPS:

“The North Florida programs are some of my favorite to attend - even with almost a 2 hour drive to get there.  The mix of people in the room, the topics and quality of speakers ranks SMPS North Florida programs among the top in the country...and I have been to programs in 12 states and more than 20 chapters, so I have something to gauge this on.”


Paul E. James, CPSM (Orlando)

"SMPS has given me many wonderful opportunities to network with others in my field as well as current and potential clients. I thoroughly enjoy every meeting, function and SMPS sponsored event and leave knowing that I have greatly benefited from each one."

Jerrica Scott Russell
Pond & Company

"The # 1 reason I joined SMPS was for the Professional Networking. Keeping informed about projects around Jacksonville is of the utmost importance to me as a Business Development person."

Bob Tackett
Total Office Solutions, Inc.

“SMPS keeps me connected with my industry.  From meeting others who are facing the same challenges to learning new things, I feel connected to my community and the local A/E/C industry.  The more involvement you have with SMPS the more opportunities you have to take advantage of the networking, education and other benefits.  It is really nice to interact with others who do the same thing for a living that I do everyday and the people who I work with outside my company.”

Kristina Craig, CPSM
RS&H

"TLC Engineering for Architecture has been a long-time supporter of SMPS North Florida. Emily Carrier, our Marketing Specialist, has been a member since 1997 and served as President of SMPS in 1999-2000. She is currently President and plans to serve as President again in another ten years.  Emily’s predecessor at TLC, Tanya Fugitt, also served as President in 2005-2006. Both ladies earned their CPSM designation through SMPS with TLC’s full support. SMPS provides programs that we and our clients enjoy and the networking opportunities within this group are fantastic. SMPS also provides continual support for professional development in marketing and business development.

I joined SMPS when I moved to Jacksonville in 2002 because it was the best source/opportunity for me to network with other people/principals in the A/E/C industry.  And still is."

“SMPS is the most powerful, relevant network I’ve ever been involved with. I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships with other marketing professionals in various stages of their careers, increase my own marketing knowledge, and attend seminars with nationally recognized speakers.”
