Special Stimulus Package & Emergency Exemption Membership
Dear FSA Members & FSA Community,
Many speaking engagements have been canceled, some of our members are at high risk for COVID-19, and the norms of everyday life have been disrupted for everyone.
How can we best support our members during this crisis? That is the question we asked ourselves during our emergency FSA board meeting on Friday, March 13th.
We have a simple answer: Connect and Build Community.
Jean Moroney, President
Florida Speakers Association
The NSA is a relationship organization. We join to learn from each other and be inspired by each other. I go to NSA events because they energize me to face my next challenge. What we need during this crisis is more of that, not less.”
We are diving into meeting virtually and have created a Special Stimulus Package & Schedule!
We will have a virtual event every week from now through June 13.
