Executive Summary
In 2022, the Florida Apartment Association began the process of cultivating an updated strategic plan to establish the association's "roadmap" for the next two years. More than 130 participants representing important association constituencies took part in focus groups and listening sessions in the first and second quarters of 2022. These constituencies included property management executives, local affiliate association executives, "emerging leaders," product and service providers (suppliers), "DEI" (diversity, equity, and inclusion) thought leaders, leadership lyceum candidates (2022), and delegates to the FAA Board of Directors. Additionally, a sub-committee was appointed to conduct a comprehensive review of FAA's governing documents and make recommendations for revisions to the Board.
This work culminated in the crafting of a strategic vision and overarching goal at a planning meeting in August 2022. The Governance Sub Committee concluded its work in August 2022, and its recommendations were subsequently approved by the FAA Board of Directors.
