A very warm welcome to everyone to the website of the Florida Greyhound Association. The FGA is your "legislative voice" in the State of Florida. We represent breeders, owners, kennel operators and vendors to our industry from around the United States. We are affiliated with the National Greyhound Association, located in Abilene, Kansas, and we have seven regional associations throughout Florida that operate in cooperation with us.
The Florida Greyhound Association is represented by Public Affairs Consultants in Tallahassee. James Blanchard of Bonita Springs is the NGA Director for District 1A. Representing District 1B is Hall Gill of Inverness, Florida. Board of Directors meetings are held in various areas in Florida and are opened to all FGA members.Time and place will be announced on this web site two weeks prior to the meeting.
We hope you will investigate our website and become a little more enlightened as to the importance of the Greyhound Industry in the State of Florida. One third of all race tracks in North America are proud to call Florida home. In addition, one third of all greyhounds racing nationally run the ovals in the sunshine state.
