Professional Network

Florida AHEAD highly values the input and contributions of our membership base, as well as our partners across the various higher educational institutions in Florida. We provide networking options through a ListServ, professional development opportunities, and collaboration through our consortia.

Consortia

  • Accommodated Testing Consortium
    • Meets twice in the Fall and Spring and once in the Summer. This consortium serves as a sustainable community of learning and as a resource to connect/collaborate with campus disability and access services colleagues with interest or direct involvement in providing accommodated testing for students with disabilities.
  • Electronic Information Technology (EIT) Consortium
    • Meets every other month beginning in January on the Third or Fourth Thursday at 1:00 PM ET. This consortium provides professional development speaker sessions and encourages Florida institutions to present their talent within the broad session topics. Please view the current schedule with registration links.
  • State University System (SUS) Consortium
