The Florida State Fair and NICA Annual Golf Tournament is held in Tampa, Florida early in February. A portion of the proceeds for this event benefit the Florida State Fair 4-H and FFA Scholarship Fund. NICA members serve as State Representatives. They host NICA membership meetings at fairs and festivals nationwide and represent the membership at state association meetings. NICA members are asked to contact the NICA office to request an application for the CCE program.
Applications are extensive and time consuming.
They must be submitted to the NICA office no later than October 1st. The main objective of the program is to bring more professional status to the concessionaire. The applicant must have a minimum of 7 years as a full-time chief operating manager of an independent concession business. Applicants must also provide information for personal, event, and business references. NICA board member SanDee O'Brien has redeveloped the program.
