Heath Baulac

Hi Everyone, 

My name is Heath Baulac and I am running for the FAA's Central Region Vice President position. I am passionate about promoting the sport and fostering a supportive and inviting community among archers of all skill levels. I have not only extensive experience within archery as a competitor and bowhunter, but have also served other community organizations in various capacities, such as March of Dimes, United Way, Viste, Gospel Inc, and currently serve as the President of Central Florida Archers Inc. One of the goals that I have for serving as your Central Region Vice President, is to not only foster growth within the Florida Archery Association, but to build bridges with the other archery organizations in Florida, such as ASA and USA archery, and the various clubs throughout the state. The other goal is to once again see not just a surviving community of archers, but one that is thriving and ensuring a future for the next generation. I plan on accomplishing these through servant-based leadership that is focused on honest and transparent communication, planning, and execution that is open to new ideas from all of Florida's diverse group of archers. 

When voting for a new Central Region VP, I kindly ask that you vote for me, and for the future of Florida Archery. 

Thank you for your consideration,
Heath Baulac
