Where Florist Associations Exchange Ideas & Improve Their Programs.

Improve your State Floral Association
Each year, more leaders of associations serving America's floral industry come together at the NAFA annual conference to learn and network, taking back home critical information to better serve their members. Last year, nearly 50 floral leaders from over 20 state/regional associations met, and the results were dynamic.
Share Ideas
Our meetings feature intensive meetings of floral association leaders covering
wide ranges of topics: membership, benefits, communications, legislation and lobbying, education and certification, meetings and conventions, floral marketing, finances, and much more.
NAFA is the sponsor of the Certified Florist program. Click here to learn more
