Committee Descriptions

Education Committee The Education Committee oversees all statewide educational efforts for genetic counselors in Florida. The main role of this committee is to plan and oversee our Annual Education Conference that typically takes place the third week of May.

Public Affairs Committee The Public Affairs Committee works with a lobbying firm to work toward the best interest of genetic counselors and their patients when it comes to new legislation. The main focus of this committee has been establishing licensure. While we successfully established licensure in 2021, there is still much work to do to establish rules and regulations and our licensure renewal process. 

Development Committee The Development Committee works to further develop networking and outreach in the genetic counseling community. Their main role is to plan the annual Prospective Students Day, a joint event hosted by University of South Florida’s Genetic Counseling program. 

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Committee The DEI Committee is a newly established committee that strives to promote diversity within the genetic counseling field by identifying and working to diminish obstacles that limit individuals of minority and underprivileged backgrounds from pursuing this profession. Not only will our profession be made better by the success of these efforts, so will the patient experience. Our committee has established an annual grant that covers Match and application fees for up to ten applicants from diverse backgrounds applying to a Florida genetic counseling program. We are currently working on establishing a fundraising method to continue to support this scholarship for years to come and to increase the number of students who we can support. 

Communications and Technology Committee The Communications and Technology Committee is responsible for overseeing and enhancing the organization’s internal and external communications. Key responsibilities include maintaining and updating the organization’s website, managing social media presence, and developing newsletters and other member communications. The committee creates original content and promotes the efforts of the organization. 

Member at Large The Member at Large is an experienced genetic counselor who has held leadership positions in the organization previously. They serve as a mentor and confidant to the other board members.
