Notice to Florida Leader Readers Oxendine Publishing has been proud to serve the Florida education community for the past 22 years through our magazines and awards programs. However, the focus of our company has evolved, and our new concentration is Student Government training. We’ve dedicated a great deal of time and resources to develop the American Student Government Association—the national professional association serving Student Governments—as well as related conferences and consulting services. Because of this new direction, we have decided to put Florida Leader magazine up for sale. Our company will no longer be producing the magazine, the Best of Florida Schools Awards, or the Florida College Student of the Year Award. Yet we hope that a new owner will continue to publish Florida Leader and sponsor its important awards programs. We thank you all for your support and hope that you will consider joining ASGA or subscribing to Student Leader magazine, our national publication. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail or call us at 352-373-6907.
