5 Benefits of AFC Membership

Advocacy

AFC is a professional association for Florida’s 28 public community and state colleges, their boards, employees, retirees, and associates. We actively promote, democratically represent, support, and serve the individual members and institutions in their endeavors to provide their students and the citizens of Florida with the best possible comprehensive community college educational system.

Professional Development

Membership gives you access to educational opportunities that enhance your current position or prepare you for advancement. The association offers free webinars, local and virtual conferences, leadership training, scholarships, discounts on tuition, and much more.

Community Service

As a member of the AFC, you are part of a statewide family that serves the community. One of our core values is helping others in need. This includes food banks, homeless shelters, children's hospitals, veteran services, and any local need. It also means helping out our own members experiencing hardships like hurricane damage, illness, or financial burdens.

Innovation

Sharing ideas is one of the things that makes AFC shine. Professionals at any level within the 28 state colleges can share and learn from one another to enhance best practices throughout the college system. Each year, these innovations are recognized through AFC’s Learning Communities, Regions, Chapters, and statewide events.

Networking

Where else can you make connections with people who understand the challenges and successes that come from working in higher education? AFC members welcome the opportunity to connect, engage, and learn from one another. Explore AFC membership opportunities and experience these benefits for yourself!
