Yesterday, the AILA South Florida Board stepped away from our usual board meetings and gatherings for a fun afternoon together at our Board Retreat at Kings Bowling! 🎳

It was such a great opportunity to spend time together outside of our regular meetings—laughing, connecting, sharing ideas, and simply enjoying each other’s company.

Our Board Retreat was a wonderful reminder that the relationships we build while serving AILA South Florida are just as important as the work we accomplish together. We’re grateful for this amazing group of colleagues and friends and excited for all that we have planned for the year ahead!

Here’s to a great year of collaboration, friendship, and serving our AILA South Florida community! 💙🎳
