Committees & Task Forces
Volunteers are vital to FSAE’s success. A special thanks to all of the committee members for their sustained energy and enthusiastic involvement.
A committee meets throughout the year; a task force meets as needed. Some groups are very small, others need several volunteers. With the exception of the Associate Advisory Committee, our committees and task forces meet by conference call. If you are interested in serving on a committee or task force please contact the FSAE office at fsae@fsae.org or 850-222-7994.
