IIDA South Florida Chapter

It is an honor to officially step into the role of President for the IIDA South Florida Chapter! This community has given me so much, and I’m thrilled to spend this year advocating for our profession alongside such a talented board. Huge thanks to my Compass Office Solutions family for their unwavering support as I take on this new chapter. Let’s get to work! 🥂✨
 

Our Diversity by Design initiative strives to make a lasting impact on the young minds, and we are always grateful to see such wonderful testimonials that inspire us to continue the effort-

“On behalf of the Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade, Hank Kline Club, I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for visiting yesterday and for taking the time to work with our youth. Our students were highly engaged throughout the workshop and truly enjoyed the experience. Opportunities like this are incredibly valuable, as they expose our youth to new ideas and career pathways that can positively influence their future.” - Elizabeth Minaberriet, Program Director, Hank Kline Club
