GSFA's Mission Statement
The purpose of Georgia State Florists' Association is four fold:
- To educate the individuals within the industry.
- To lend credibility to the floral industry through certification and continuing education.
- To provide an industry specific networking venue for the members and floral associates interested in GSFA.
- To provide recognition for those who give of themselves, their knowledge and their vision to the industry and the association.
By having a combined, co-operative association, we can better address the offerings of the wholesalers and manufacturing leaders around the country.
By speaking with one voice, we can learn from them and can disseminate their information to the entire state through our newsletter, workshop, convention and district meetings.
By belonging to GSFA, individuals have the opportunity to increase their skills, share their knowledge, and benefit from the expertise of others. In an industry that moves and changes so rapidly, the survival and success of the florists of Georgia depends on our efforts to keep abreast of current trends, materials and information.
Membership is open to anyone in the industry, directly or indirectly, who is in compliance with our standards, our ideals and our goals.
We invite participation and input from all of our members and continually promote programs and workshops that will include all interested parties throughout the state and surrounding areas.
We Welcome You!!!!
