Dear Members and Colleagues-

We just convened our midyear board meeting and are already six months away from our annual conference. Our new website is nearly completed, and we cannot wait to unveil our new page and look! 

Thank you for your continued participation in your Regional Trainings and be prepared for additional upcoming training announcements. Your engagement drives our association forward and your directors strive to provide valuable, meaningful opportunities for growth in our field.  As always, if you have training ideas, case study presentations, or any questions, please reach out to your Regional Director.

This year’s conference is shaping up to be our most engaging yet, with inspiring speakers, valuable sessions, and new opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate. Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be sharing more details about all the new and exciting things you can look forward to experiencing.

For now, please mark your calendars and stay tuned.  Conference to be held at the Orlando DoubleTree by Hilton, during the week of June 8-12, 2026.

Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Respectfully,

Maggie Dietrich

President

Florida Association of Hostage Negotiators
