Your Voice. Our Vision. FRID 2027!

Help Shape FRID's Future!

Deadline to Participate: Sunday, November 15, 2026
Location: Online – Participate Anytime!
Participate Below: *Must click on each question #.

At our 2026 Annual Business Meeting, we kicked off a project to create a collective vision board for FRID in 2027 and beyond! With 21 people in attendance, we had some great ideas, but we know there are many more voices across Florida that deserve to be heard.

Whether you're a current member, former member, or have never joined FRID, we want YOUR input!

We're asking seven short, interactive questions about what FRID means to you, what makes a professional organization worth belonging to, and what you'd like to see from FRID moving forward.

Our goal is to identify common themes, create a collective vision board to share with our community, and use your feedback to help guide FRID's priorities and opportunities for 2027.

Remember, participation doesn't always mean serving on the Board or joining a committee. Sometimes it's simply attending a workshop, showing up to a social, sharing an event, or inviting a colleague.

A lot of work goes into creating these opportunities, whether two people attend or forty. The more people who participate, the more connections we build and the greater impact those efforts can have.

FRID 2.0 is about moving from membership to "sense of ownership", and that starts with listening to YOU.

Take a few minutes, share your thoughts, and help us build an organization worth belonging to, participating in, and supporting for years to come!

Image Description: A dark green event flyer is centered over a background photograph of coffee, plants, and café items. At the top, a white banner displays a green outline of Florida and the black initials “FRID.” Below it, mint-green and white text announces a fall “Brain Break” social in Jacksonville and Tampa. The flyer lists the coffee shops and addresses for both locations, the date and time, and notes about coffee, community, fall crafts, bringing a personal craft, and paying for individual purchases.
