The Florida Alliance of Paralegal Associations ("FAPA" or the "Alliance") was initially organized in 1996 with the purpose of providing a forum in which all paralegal associations within the state of Florida could meet to address common issues affecting the paralegal profession. The Alliance is comprised of four paralegal professional assocations located around the state of Florida: Central Florida Paralegal Association, Southwest Florida Paralegal Association, Gulf Coast Paralegal Association, and South Florida Paralegal Association. Delegates from each association serve in a volunteer capacity on the Board of Directors. FAPA now also supports an at-large membership level for individuals, and a patron membership for corporations!
