Luis Collazo, of Palm Breeze Assisted Liv-
ing Facility in Hialeah, was installed at our
annual conference as FALA’s 2012-13 presi-
dent. He also received the 2012 Sid Rosen-
blatt Excellence in Leadership Award. This
annual award is presented to an individual
with outstanding leadership abilities and was
designed to honor Sid Rosenblatt, one of the
founding members of FALA. Mr. Rosenblatt
has been an inspiration to FALA members
for his commitment to excellence in leader-
ship. “I am so deeply humbled,” Mr. Collazo
said during his installation. “As we continue
our roles as caregivers, we will continue to
draw from our values. I am very grateful for
this incredible honor.”
