There are a few changes in the MFB Florida advisory board with the retirement of president Stanley Sinn. WE're also blessed to welcome a well-qualified replacement.
Stan Sinn served as the first MFB Florida advisory board president for seven years. He retired from this role at the end of 2022.
"When you meet Stan, you can feel his leadership," says MFB Marketing and Development Manager Scot Buss. "Through dedication and hard work, he helped provide a vision for MFB Florida."
"We could not be more grateful for the ways Stan has helped MFB Florida for the past seven years," says Karl Steidinger, Executive Director. "His determination, leadership, and overall care for this organization and its mission have been a huge asset to our success."
Though no longer board president, Stan is still part of the MFB Florida family, and we wish him well.
