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 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.
