What's happening?
Your Voice.
Your Leadership.
Your FPSA.
Celebrating student leadership, building lasting connections, and looking ahead to an exciting competition season.
Dear FPSA Students, Advisors, and Friends,
What an exciting start to the 2026–2027 school year! As we head into the fall season and prepare for regional competitions, I want to take a moment to reflect on some of the wonderful things happening within FPSA and share a few exciting opportunities ahead.
Student Leadership in Action!
One of the highlights of September was our Student Leadership Conference! It was wonderful to see students from schools across Florida come together, connect with new friends, and strengthen their leadership skills.
What made this experience especially meaningful was watching students step outside their usual circles, work alongside peers from other schools, and share their thoughts about the future of FPSA.
During breakout discussions, students had the opportunity to exchange ideas, explore possibilities, and envision ways we can continue making our organization even better.
To every student who participated: Please keep those conversations going! Leadership doesn't end when a conference is over.
I encourage you to stay connected with the students you met, continue collaborating, and share your ideas with us throughout the year. Your voices matter, and I am excited to see where your ideas may take us!
Once FPSA, Always FPSA!
Another initiative I am particularly excited about is the launch of our FPSA Alumni Program!
FPSA has helped shape the lives of so many students over the years, and I would love to reconnect with former members and hear where their journeys have taken them.
Advisors and students, if you know former FPSA members, please encourage them to reconnect with us and register as FPSA alumni as our new program gets underway.
We would love to welcome alumni back to a future conference or competition! Whether they would like to reconnect with old friends, share their experiences, or simply stop by and say hello, they will always be part of our FPSA family.
A Special Message to Our Seniors
You are the future alumni of FPSA! Your FPSA journey doesn't have to end when you graduate. Stay connected, keep in touch, and remember that you will always have a place in the FPSA family.
Competition Season Is Almost Here!
As we enter regional competition season, I want to wish every student the very best of luck!
I know how much time, dedication, and hard work go into preparing for these events.
Remember that while awards and recognition are exciting, the confidence you build, the skills you develop, and the friendships you make along the way are just as valuable.
I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to our advisors, teachers, and volunteers. Your commitment to our students and to FPSA makes all of these opportunities possible.
I am looking forward to seeing the talent, enthusiasm, and dedication of our students in action over the coming months.
Good luck to all of our competitors, and I'll see you soon at your regional competition!
Warm regards,
Florida Public Service Association, Inc.
