Message from the President:
Greetings to all!
Happy holidays to all and hope to see you at our annual Holiday Luncheon meeting which
will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn near the Airport across from the Gulf Coast Town
Center.
Please join us in celebrating another great year in advancing our professional development
in the procurement profession. This meeting includes a holiday luncheon provided by
GCAGPO so please make sure you register on line via http://www.gcagpo.org.
The preparations for GCAGPO’s 4th Reverse Trade Show are well underway. Please be ready to commit your Agency to
participate. Also, when the brochure and flyer become available, remember to share the information as soon as possible with
all of your Vendors!
This huge event will provide GCAGPO members with more scholarship opportunities to advance educational endeavors and
will provide an opportunity for Vendors to visit with all participating Agencies in ONE location plus learn some great tips in
the workshops being offered.
Finally, I enjoyed spending the past year as your President. A sincere, heartfelt THANK YOU, to the Board Members and the
Committee Volunteers and everyone else who provided their time and talent over the past year. I enjoyed the quarterly
meetings and am grateful for the teamwork shared all year long.
Again, thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on December 13.

QUARTERLY MEETING AGENDA
Date: December 13, 2013
PLACE: HILTON GARDEN INN FORT MYERS
16410 Corporate Commerce Way,
Fort Myers, Florida, 33913, USA
Quarterly Meeting Topic: End-User Devices - The Consequence of Choices
SPEAKER: Daniel Rodriguez, CTO, Vice President of Technology Services
Long gone are the days when making a decisions about infrastructure or end-user devices had little to do
with each other. Today the support, security, content concerns, and access anywhere/anytime are
complicated by the number and types of devices our employees select. Whether district owned or BYOD
(bring your own device), how do we define and protect our networks. Furthermore budgetary challenges
demand that we “get it right” the first time. We have to ask ourselves before the PO is issued – will this
paint us into a corner for future choices and sustainability?
Ecosystems
o OS Platforms – Apple IOS, Android, Microsoft
o Content – How to deliver the same on every device?
o Application Delivery – Cloud or Client?
o Security – Who and what do we allow on the network
o Device Management
TIME: 09:30 – 10:00 a.m. Registration, Coffee, etc.
10:00 – 11:15 a.m. Ethics Survival Kit
11:15 – 11:30 a.m. Break
11:30 – 1:00 a.m. Business Meeting – and Holiday Lunch

THE 2014 REVERSE TRADE SHOW IS COMING!!!
The 2014 Reverse Trade Show is fast approaching!
The 2014 GCAGPO will be Co-Chaired by Susan Malay, and Greg Herlean. They will have help from a committee however; the true success of the event relies on Agency commitment and participation. The membership will be updated on all aspects and developments for the event at the December meeting. Please plan to attend the December meeting to hear first hand of the progress to date. Everyone knows of the quantity of effort that is required from all participating agencies. Please be ready to commit yourself as a GCAGPO member and hopefully get commitment from your agency to “person” a table at the March 9, 2014 event.
Together we can make a difference.

December is traditionally a month were the focus is “out with the old, in with the new”. This year the election
of the new board members is critical for the success of GCAGPO for the next several years. Please consider
volunteering for a leadership position in the Organization.
The 4th
Annual trade show is rapidly taking shape and will be here faster than a snowflake melting in Fort
Myers. I want to remind everyone that the success of the Trade Show is based on the participation of all
agencies. Last year we had several agencies back out at the last minute. The trade show committee prepares all
of the materials in advance. Vendors anticipate meeting representatives of all agencies that we advertise. When
an agency is listed as being present and backs out at the last minute it damages the reputation of GCAGPO
One final comment on the trade show, when the agency receives the brochure to mail to the vendors on that
agency’s database please send it out to your vendors as soon as possible. The earlier we get the word out the
better informed the vendor will be and hopefully that translates to an early registration so that we can minimize
“last minute registrations”.
