Welcome to the Florida ARF website!

We hope you will take the time to browse our web pages and find out who we are and what we do.  Stated simply, we are a statewide, professional association that represents the interests of approximately 65 community human service agencies and the individuals they serve.  Florida ARF provides advocacy, information, and networking for both individuals with disabilities and the community agencies that serve them. 

We are a leader in the initiation of public policy change that promotes and protects the interests of individuals with disabilities.  We provide our member agencies with factual and timely information, making our membership the best-informed and most effective influencers of systems change.
If you are interested in participating in grassroots advocacy campaigns that make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities, we encourage you to visit our Grassroots page and become involved in educating lawmakers and policy makers about the needs of individuals with disabilities.  Feel free to read our talking points and white papers to better understand the needs we are addressing.

We encourage potential members to review our PowerPoint brochure located on the front page to learn more about us.  We also encourage potential members to view our Value Statement to better understand the value of membership.

For our member agencies, please take the opportunity to obtain a password and access the wealth of information that is available as a member benefit on the inside of our website.  In addition to summaries of our meetings and conferences, you will also find links to valuable industry information.

As always, feel free to call us at 850-877-4816 to inquire about our services and the benefits of membership.  Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities!

Sincerely,

President & CEO
