President's Message
To FL State Society AMTr,
Our premier Society at 7,000 plus allied health professionals out of 80,000 total national certified members is outstanding. I am proud to be a Florida member! We have expanded our territories for our live educational meetings, and our 2026 spring meeting is in Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville has beautiful parks, beaches, and city entertainment. Take a road trip with some friends with some well-deserved self-care and fun. Contact a member on communities to split a room charge if necessary. You just cannot miss this opportunity!

- The 2026 Spring Meeting is May 2, 2026, in Jacksonville, Florida at the North Sheraton Hotel. Look out for any upcoming registration.
