Many of you have asked…so here is our suggestion:

For the Symposium Leadership Luncheon & Keynote, we’re leaning into color that lifts, energizes, and feels like you. Think sunny yellows, soft pinks and vibrant corals that make you walk a little taller and smile a little brighter.

This isn’t about matching… it’s about shining.
Wear the color that makes you feel confident, joyful, and completely alive.

Because when you radiate joy… the whole room feels it 💛

Some awards recognize a moment.

A Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a legacy.

The South Central Chapter is thrilled to celebrate our very own . Keith White AIFD CFD on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the FSFA International Floral Expo.

For decades, Keith has shared his talent, knowledge, creativity, and passion with florists across the industry. Through his design work, education, mentorship, and leadership, he has inspired countless floral professionals and helped elevate the art of floral design for generations.

Those who know Keith know that his greatest contribution isn't just the beautiful work he creates. It's the encouragement, wisdom, and generosity he shares with others along the way.

Keith, thank you for all you have given to our floral family. This recognition is incredibly well deserved, and we couldn't be prouder to call you one of our own.

Please join us in congratulating Keith on this remarkable honor! 🌿👏
