Where can I find out more?

There are many great web based resources on the FLATE outreach web page and on the Made in Florida Links page.

FAQ

Many large websites have a FAQ page where people are sent to get answers or further information about a product.  After scrolling through 20 or so questions that really don’t match your inquiry, most probably give up and start looking for a contact number.

Being that this site is constantly evolving and we don’t know what people will ask most frequently, there is no annoying list, just who to contact with your questions.

Some possible topics might be: Where do I get a copy of the “Made in Florida” dvd?,  How do I get a ‘Student Industry Tour’ started? or Where do I find the answer sheets to the ‘Challenge’ scenarios?

Give me a call at 813.259.6581 or email me at gula@fl-ate.org.
