Good Evening Members,


Over the past five months, I have had the opportunity to travel the state, visit with many of you, and learn more about your businesses and your expectations for FPMA. While those conversations have been incredibly valuable, I know they only represent a portion of our membership.


Today, I am asking for your help.


Whether you are a jobber, retailer, supplier, associate member, patron member, or industry partner, I want to hear from you. What is FPMA doing well? Where can we improve? What services, programs, advocacy efforts, or events are most important to you? And where are we missing the mark?


Your honest feedback will help shape the future direction of the association and ensure that FPMA remains responsive to the needs of our diverse membership.


Please take 5–10 minutes to complete the survey below. Your participation would mean a great deal to me personally, and your feedback will play an important role in helping us build a stronger, more responsive association for all members.

Thank you for your membership, your engagement, and your willingness to share your perspective. I appreciate your candor and look forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,

Pierce Schuessler, CEO
