Northwest Chapter

President’s Message

Congratulations and welcome to the 2025 NW AIFD Board! I am honored to step into the role of Chapter President and even more excited to have such a talented and dedicated group of professionals joining me in leading our chapter forward.

Thank you for volunteering your time, creativity, and insight to support the continued growth and excellence of our region. Our chapter spans eight U.S. states, three Canadian provinces plus Korea and Japan. While we may be spread far and wide, we are united by our shared passion for floral artistry and professional advancement. Staying connected is important to me, and I truly value the opportunity to collaborate with each of you.

As we look ahead, I welcome your ideas—especially around fundraising, increasing awareness of AIFD, and finding innovative ways to support our members. Our board meets only 3 to 4 times a year, and your voice and input during those meetings are invaluable.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally with any questions, comments, or ideas. I look forward to working with all of you and making this a strong and inspired year for NW AIFD!

With appreciation,
Shamay Andrich AIFD
