Il y a cinq ans naissait la FAACT Florida Chapter avec une vision claire :
rassembler les artisans, créateurs et entrepreneurs francophones autour des valeurs d’excellence, de transmission et de solidarité.

Depuis sa création, la FAACT Florida s’est affirmée comme un véritable lien entre la France et les États-Unis, en accompagnant les talents, en valorisant les savoir-faire et en créant des opportunités concrètes pour celles et ceux qui entreprennent avec passion.

Au fil des années, nous avons organisé des événements fédérateurs, soutenu de nombreux projets, accompagné des artisans dans leur développement, et contribué à faire rayonner l’artisanat français en Floride.

Mais au-delà des actions, la FAACT Florida est avant tout une communauté.

Une communauté engagée, bienveillante et tournée vers l’avenir.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons avec fierté ces cinq années de travail, de rencontres et de réalisations et nous regardons avec enthousiasme vers les projets à venir.

Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui font vivre la FAACT Florida Chapter chaque jour.

L’aventure continue. 🇫🇷🇺🇸✨
