Kirk Pamper
Kirk Pamper is an active member of the American Institute of Floral Designers, a prestigious organization of some of the most talented floral artists in the world. Membership in AIFD is highly selective, and represents a significant achievement in the career of a floral professional. Members gather annually for a four-day symposium of cutting edge floral design programs
and inspiration.

   Since his 1989 induction, Kirk has served on AIFD’s Marketing, Education, Awards, and Membership Committees, helped launch AIFD’s “Blooms Over......” project (which distributes leftover symposium flowers to local hospices and hospitals), the “AIFD Across America” program (which brings new design ideas from the annual

  symposium to regional chapters around the country), and AIFD’s website. He also served on AIFD’s National Board of Directors and recently completed a term as Vice-President of the organization. He has presented two main stage programs at National Symposia, as well as several other programs at regional and national conferences.

Kirk was inducted into Professional Floral Communicators International in 1993. PFCI recognizes and certifies excellence in the field of floral commentating and education, and has fewer than 100 members worldwide. Kirk has gone on to teach commentating workshops under the auspices of PFCI, and has served on PFCI’s Board of Trustees.

In 1997, Kirk was named a member of the American Academy of Floriculture, the honor roll of the Society of American Florists, in recognition of his long years of dedicated service to the floral industry and to his own community.
