The Florida Self Storage Association is a not for profit group of Florida self storage owners, operators, management personnel and vendors with a common goal. The FSSA was founded in 1999 by a small group of operators in south Florida that quickly grew to a statewide organization by 2001 with more than 100 members. Today, the FSSA boasts a substantial 966 members with an annualized budget of over $250,000.
“The mission of the Florida Self Storage Association is to ensure the stability and growth of the self storage industry by providing a forum in which members may increase knowledge through educational opportunities, exchange information and promote an established unified voice. ”
FSSA membership provides, among other things: educational programs for owners and their management staff; executive retreat- a day designed to promote “out of the box ” thinking for owners/developers while exchanging ideas and networking; discounts on FSSA-sponsored events; quarterly FSSA magazine; complimentary subscription to Mini Storage Messenger; FSSA networking events with guest speakers; discount advertising opportunities; leadership and open lines of communication on issues affecting the industry; opportunities to increase knowledge of the industry through research; discussion and exchange of information and an information pipeline for legislative and legal changes in the state. Membership as you can see has it benefits.
The FSSA and SSA are continuing the fight in 2013. This past year Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed into law updates to the 33-year old Self -Service Storage Act, capping a two-and-a-half year effort by the national Self Storage Association(SSA) and the Florida Self Storage Association (FSSA) to improve the regulations that govern the lien process in the Sunshine State. In 2013 they plan on seizing the momentum and continuing efforts to save owner/operators unnecessary and ineffective expenses.
