AFC Announces Tier Membership Program

AFC is the professional association of Florida’s 28 public colleges, connecting the faculty, staff, administrators, retirees, and associates who make the Florida College System work. Membership means connection: to colleagues across the state, to professional development that moves careers forward, and to a community championing the college system and the students it serves. There are two ways to be part of AFC. Core Membership comes automatically when your college invests through institutional dues. Premium Membership adds a personal layer of benefits for those ready to take their AFC experience further.

On the AFC Membership page, you will find an overview of both membership tiers, the benefits of going Premium, answers to common questions, and the form to become a Premium Member.

Core Membership

Included when your college invests in AFC through institutional dues. No signup, no additional individual cost to you.

  • Access to the Success Summit, regional conferences, and the Leadership Summit
  • Webinar Wednesdays and Learning Communities
  • Member communications throughout the year

Premium Membership

Everything in Core, plus a personal layer of benefits.

  1. Discounted registration for all AFC conferences and events, including the Success Summit and Leadership Summit
  2. One complimentary regional conference registration per year
  3. Priority dates for conference registration and proposal submissions
  4. An invitation to the exclusive VIP Reception at the 2026 Success Summit
  5. Eligibility for Learning Community Champion and State Officer roles
  6. Special VIP conference tag and swag
  7. Digital badge for your email signature and social media profile
  8. Voting privileges in AFC elections
  9. And more!

Core is your college’s investment in you. Premium is your investment in yourself. Your Premium membership is an investment in your own growth, in your college, and in the students across Florida’s college system who are better served when the people supporting them are connected and equipped.

Are there any considerations for members currently paying under a grandfathered dues rate?
Yes. Members who are currently grandfathered into a legacy dues rate should be aware that if they discontinue their Premium Membership and later choose to rejoin, they would do so at the then-current Premium Membership rate. The grandfathered rate cannot be reinstated once membership lapses.
