America’s Business Leaders…shaping the future

In one short sentence, “The Florida Council has been teaching kids to fish since 1975.”   Beginning with Jack Eckerd and Scott Linder in 1975, the FCEE has been blessed with a long line of dedicated leaders committed to one common cause: celebrating and harnessing the power of America’s free enterprise system through education.
