What an exciting year!  We are celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Arkansas Florists Association... Our Diamond Jubilee!!

We will be honoring our past presidents (our diamonds) as well as our many hard working volunteers (our jewels).  It is their hard work that has made this associaton what it is today.  Let's all pitch in, join the party and make this a great year! 

My focus this year will be on promoting education, volunteerism and membership. 

Watch for informaiton on upcoming educational events as well as the Arkansas Master Florists Program.

There are a lot of places where your help would be greatly appreciated, so don't be bashful...step up and volunteer...we need you1 

Our association is one of the strongest in the country, but membership fuels the machine.  If you know of shops who are not members, please encourage them to join and be a part of this great association!

Thank you for electing me to serve this year as your president.

Be sure to join us for upcoming events posted on the Calendar of Events on this website and mark your calendar for our "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" Convention  August 16-19, 2012 at the Hot Springs Convention Center in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Sincerely,

Jan Diederich, AMF, PCF
President
Arkansas Florists Association
