2027 Slates of Officers Announced
FAA Members and Volunteer Leaders;
On July 22, 2026, the Nominating Committee convened to consider and select slates of officers to lead the Executive Committee for the Florida Apartment Association and the Florida Suppliers Council in 2027. This year the Nominating Committee was presented with yet another highly qualified and talented candidate pool of volunteer leaders aspiring to higher office. As in previous years, making selections was no small feat, but my fellow committee members were up to the task. The Committee, FAA team, and I appreciate each person who expressed an interest in taking their volunteer service to the next level.
After a full day of interviews and deliberations, the Nominating Committee is pleased to present the following slates of officers for the FAA Board of Directors and Florida Suppliers Council's consideration.
