Board of Directors

HCAF's governance structure is composed of a dedicated 17-member Board of Directors, all of whom are volunteers. These Board members generously commit to two-year terms, which may be extended for an additional two consecutive terms. Within the Board, the Executive Committee includes the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, all representing Florida's home care industry in an at-large capacity.

Furthermore, we have 11 Directors who represent home providers based on health care regions designated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The Board is complemented by the Director of Private Duty, who represents private pay providers, and the Associate Director, who advocates for the vendor organizations serving Florida's home care providers.

As a valued HCAF member, you possess a unique opportunity to actively influence your association's direction. You can help shape policies, develop programs, and contribute to strategic planning efforts that benefit your colleagues in the industry. Your ideas and perspective are invaluable to us, and we welcome your active participation.

If you aspire to directly impact HCAF's future by serving on the Board of Directors or would like to connect with a current Board member, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information. Your engagement is crucial to the continued success and growth of our association.
