Florida Staffing Association

What Florida Staffing Association does

Florida Staffing Association (FSA) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1972 and headquartered in Plantation, Florida, serving as the official Florida-affiliated chapter of the American Staffing Association (ASA). FSA represents staffing and recruiting firms operating across the state, providing a unified platform for industry advocacy, professional education, networking, and compliance support. Its stated mission centers on connecting staffing professionals, delivering educational programming, monitoring state and federal legislation, and representing member interests in Tallahassee and beyond.

The organization's core products are organized around two membership tiers — a Staffing Company Membership priced at $350 per year covering one branch location, and an Industry Partner Membership priced at $750 per year covering one Corporate HQ — supplemented by an events program (Regional Quarterly Area Socials in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Pompano Beach, plus mixers and monthly webinars), an Industry Partner Marketplace, member directories, legislative and legal resource libraries, and a Code of Ethics framework. Underlying technology is the BRYNK Growth Platform, which powers the website, membership management, event registration, and payment processing.

FSA generates revenue through annual membership subscriptions, pay-as-you-go event registration (members $20 / non-members $30 per event), and implicit partner-sponsorship value flows from board-integrated vendors such as Avionte, Fox Rothschild, Bridgeport Capital, MMA, and Seacoast Bank. Distribution is direct via the floridastaffing.org website and in-person events across Florida, with no intermediaries. The organization operates with a lean 8-employee staff and does not publicly disclose revenue or membership counts.
