How to Join

The Hawaii Florists & Shippers Association, a non-profit organization, was established in 1948. Since then, HFSA has served its members, now over 400 strong, in the floral and ornamental horticulture industry.

The Association works to build your business opportunities and reduce your costs of operation. HFSA has several important goals: to seek support from federal, state and county government for funds to support our floriculture industries; to cooperate with government regulatory agencies to create and to maintain beneficial programs-i.e., to build and maintain trade opportunities to export our products---through trade shows, design shows, and improved air transportation rates; to offer incentives and opportunities for students to enter our industry, through the awarding of scholarships.

The membership in this Association is open to any person who is engaged in the growing, handling, shipping, and /or servicing of Hawaii grown flowers, foliage, and agricultural nursery products.

The Association dues, per calendar year (January through December 31) are $100 for regular members who want the privilege of the special FedEx shipping rates, and $30 for associate members who do not require special rates and privileges of our standard membership.

If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete the registration form to enroll. Include your FedEx account number if you have one if not, contact FedEx at 1-800-GOFEDEX so that we can inform the local representative of your current status. Allow 2 weeks for processing.

If you have any question please contact the membership chairman listed under directors in the About page.  Thank you for your interest in the Hawaii Florists and Shippers Association.
