Through USCA, you gain access to:
• A national network of CPTED professionals

Congratulations to FCPA Board Member Nell Hays!

A few weeks ago, Nell received an invitation to attend the Highlands News-Sun Best of Highlands Awards Ceremony. Thinking she may have placed in the Golf Pro category, she signed up to attend… but what happened next was an incredible surprise!

Nell was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her outstanding service to Highlands County over the years.

Please join us in celebrating Nell Hays for this well-deserved honor and her continued commitment to making our communities safer!
