FRPA Regions

Southeast Region
The Southeast Region of FRPA is comprised of Okeechobee, Broward, St. Lucie, Dade, Martin, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties.

As we start the second year with the reorganization as regions, let me start by thanking the many dedicated volunteers and the entire staff of our Executive Office who worked endlessly to make the transition to the Southeast Region a reality. Countless numbers of hours and personal sacrifices were made in order to "make it happen".

The number one challenge for the second year will be to continue to remain focused by listening to the needs of our current members and offering creative and innovative training opportunities.

Secondly, if we are to continue to make a difference, we must go beyond knowing our members needs. We must know what they value and forecast the needs for the future in order to be prepared for the ever increasing, diverse programming challenges.
