The Florida State Society aims to build a strong community where members can engage, support each other, and celebrate Florida’s culture, business, and traditions. Our mission is to bring together people in the D.C. area who have a connection to Florida, whether through family, work, or other ties. As an events-based organization, we host signature events and regular happy hours that are included in the cost of membership. These gatherings provide a relaxed, non-political environment for our members to connect, grow, and collaborate. Our goal is to create a space where Floridians in D.C. can come together, network, and strengthen ties to our great state.
Florida House
The Florida State Society is proud to partner with the Florida House, the only state embassy in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1973 by Rhea Chiles, wife of Governor Lawton Chiles, Florida House is owned by the people of Florida. Located in a historic townhouse on Capitol Hill, it serves as a "home base" for both visitors and the business community. To learn more about the Florida House, visit www.floridaembassy.com.
