AFMA Managing Document Revisions Now Available

We are pleased to announce that the AFMA Board of Directors has completed revisions to our managing documents, including the Bylaws (last updated in 2008), the Policy Manual, and the Strategic Plan (both last updated in 2014). All AFMA members are encouraged to review the revised documents in full. The documents are available when logged-in, at Documents > Association > 2025 Update & Review

The Bylaws, which are still in draft form, need approval by majority vote by AFMA's Voting Members (i.e., designated Floodplain Administrators) before they can be finalized. Voting Members are requested review the proposed Bylaws, and cast their vote by Friday, August 8th, 2025, using the link below. To assist with this process, an Excel document summarizing the changes to the Bylaws is included in the documentation.
Vote and Submit Feedback

We also welcome comments from all AFMA members—Voting or otherwise—on any of the revised documents. The Google Form allows space for this additional feedback.

AFMA'S PURPOSE


Formed in 1982, AFMA is a non-commercial, not for profit organization that provides local representation on a state-wide basis on floodplain management issues within Arizona. AFMA is a state chapter of the Association of State Floodplain Managers, providing members with a conduit to national level training, publications, and policy issues impacting the profession. The Association provides an educational forum for technical and regulatory training and discussion relative to management of Arizona’s floodplains. The Association cooperates with other agencies with similar interests including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) and the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) and the Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM).

Interested in becoming a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM)? 


The role of the nation’s floodplain managers is expanding due to increases in disaster losses, the emphasis on mitigation to alleviate the cycle of damage-rebuild-damage, and a recognized need for professionals to adequately address these issues. This certification program lays the foundation for ensuring that highly qualified individuals are available to meet the challenge of breaking the damage/rebuild cycle on the nation’s human, financial and natural resources.
