Since its inception in 1960, the Fred C. Gloeckner Foundation has contributed over $7.5 million to support floriculture research initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Fred C. Gloeckner Foundation Research Fund committee, comprised of the former Gloeckner Foundation Board members, continues this legacy through AFE, awarding grants for research and educational projects in floriculture and related fields at universities, colleges, and research institutions in the United States. The committee is composed of floriculture experts from industry and academia, bringing diverse perspectives and enhancing the impact of the Fred C. Gloeckner Foundation Research Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee proudly welcomes the following new members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
