Membership in FSDA is open to all broker-dealer firms, investment advisers, law firms, and consultants involved in or assisting the securities industry in Florida. The FSDA advocates on behalf of and represents the interest of the industry, and provides educational opportunities for its members and Florida's investing public, according to the organization.

“The FSDA begins this year energized to build upon its impactful successes in 2020, which included working with stakeholders to champion the passage of House Bill 813, now Section 517.34 of the Florida Statutes,” Newman said. “As we welcome 2021, the FSDA is at work planning this year’s advocacy agenda and programs created to empower and provide education  opportunities for Florida’s investing public, including our senior and teen populations. We encourage those who share these goals to join us as new members and participate in these meaningful activities.”
