NASPA Florida

What is NASPA-FL?

NASPA-FL is the state connection for NASPA members.  Our purpose is to help you with your professional development and networking needs within the state of Florida through a variety of different professional development opportunities.

How do I join NASPA-FL?

You are automatically considered a member of NASPA-FL when you join NASPA.  There are several  membership options, but the best value is an institutional membership, which allows all staff members on your campus to purchase individual membership at a discounted cost. 

How do I get involved in NASPA-FL?

It is easy to get involved in NASPA-FL! Check out Volunteer Central on the NASPA page for a listing of available volunteer opportunities within the state to help build your professional network with colleagues who have similar interests. Whether you are looking for a short-term commitment, like a Drive-In Conference Program Reviewer, or a larger commitment like an Executive Board position, they will all be posted on Volunteer Central. Another great way to get involved is to attend the annual NASPA-FL Drive-In Conference that is currently scheduled for October 17 - 18, 2024 at Florida Southern College.

Hello from the NASPA-FL Board!  Thank you for visiting our site to learn more about NASPA-Florida!

I am so honored to serve as your State Director for 2024 - 2026.  As a longtime member of NASPA-FL, I am excited about the opportunity to serve in this new role and to help move our state forward!  I have been involved with NASPA-FL Board for the past ten years and I am incredibly passionate about what our state organization has the potential to do for our members.

I am looking forward to working with NASPA-FL Board to create engaging professional development experiences as well as design meaningful connection opportunities to serve our members in the State of Florida.  Our team is excited about the opportunity to continue to grow our annual NASPA-FL Drive-In Conference and we are looking forward to seeing you on October 17 - 18, 2024 at Florida Southern College.

Our work as a state board continues throughout the year.  Each term we set goals focused on serving our state membership to enhance your professional experience and engagement with NASPA, NASPA Region III, and NASPA-FL.  There are several opportunities get involved through long-term and short-term volunteer roles.  You can find more information about available volunteer opportunities on Volunteer Central (NASPA log-in required).  I hope you will consider joining our team as a volunteer!

Finally, if there is anything NASPA-FL can do to support for our Florida student affairs professionals, I encourage you to reach out to a Board member and connect.  We looking forward to connecting and engaging with you!
