It all started with a Google search, “Who decorates the White House for Christmas?” and the rest was history… well almost! Actually, my Google search led me to WhiteHouse.gov, which I had to do a bit of searching to find more information, before I eventually landed upon the application to apply as a volunteer to decorate the White House for the 2019 holiday season.
As organizations grow and develop there needs to be a guide; where have we been, where are we are going and the implementing of a plan for the future. A strategic plan helps define goals, creative ideas for a change in approach and a manner to move forward in a positive direction.
Happy Thanksgiving from AIFD. An update from AIFD President Jackie Lacey AIFD
If you ever have worked with FFA members, were an FFA Member or have had the opportunity to attend FFA National Convention, you have experienced first-hand the character and integrity of these future leaders in the multi-faceted field of agriculture and ag. business.
When I was asked to chair the Symposium it was both a scary and exciting thought. On one hand it would be the biggest challenge of my life and the other it was the opportunity to take my favorite things about an AIFD Symposium and bring them all together to inspire designers from across the globe.
The AIFD Foundation is hosting a World-Class Design Experience with Bart Hassan, FTD World Cup Champion of Floral Design! Early registration is now available.
AIFD and the 2019/2020 Career Development Team are grateful to AFE (The American Floral Endowment Fund) who has granted the Intuition, Imagination and Illusion – Vision 2020 through Education Focus on the Future – Bringing FFA to the AIFD Symposium project with a significant contribution for the 2020 FFA symposium workshop scholarships.
Up to six AIFD Premium Registrations to attend the 2020 AIFD Symposium in Chicago will be awarded to professional floral designers!
