What Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys does
Mission
The Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys is the pre-eminent organization of florida elder law attorneys providing advocacy, education and action on behalf of seniors and people with disabilities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The academy holds two annual seminars: the mid year unprogram and december unprogram. Both events serve to provide continuing education in a facilitated learning environment. The mid year unprogram is held on one day in may and serves as an intermediate course. The december unprogram, held over two days, provides two levels of continuing legal education (basic/intermediate and advanced) for attorneys (members and non-members). Afela also holds webinars, scheduled throughout the year, that are narrowed to a specific topic. The webinars are 75 minutes in length and are held online.
$95,504 spent98% of program spendingThe academy's contracted legal, media, and legislative consultants work at the direction of the academy's board of directors. Legal, media, and legislative counsel monitor activities of the elected state lawmakers in the annual legislative session, department of children and families, department of elder affairs, and various rule making committees. All such monitoring activities serve to help the academy's elected volunteer leaders to better serve the members-at-large and the general public by ensuring advocacy from elder law attorneys about elder affairs. The media relations consultant also helps academy members with local advocacy via proper media outlets and spreading work about florida's annual "elder law month" per the governor's proclamation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $308k to $387k (+26%).
