Board of Directors

Meet our Board of Directors

Director

Joan Harris

Originally from upstate NY, I am now a resident of Paradise Lakes Community.

This is my first year as an AANR-FL Director. I previously served as an AANR Trustee from 2014 – 2020.

Originally from upstate NY, I am now a resident of Paradise Lakes Community. Living the full - time nudist life has increased my passions about nudist rights and having everyone be able to enjoy social nudism.

My husband, Alan, and I have been social nudists for many years and members of AANR since 1999. We are both proud to be life-time members.

Women in Nude Recreation is a particular interest of mine and I chaired the WINR Committee for AANR and do so now for AANR – FL. I believe that women coming together in friendship and support enhances the entire experience of living life nude.

Contact me at joan.harris@aanr-florida.org with any questions about establishing a WINR group where you are or networking with other groups in Florida.

Director

Dave Berry

Dave hails from Houston, Texas. His formative years were spent in Sonoma, California, and he attended and graduated from Spring Woods High in Houston, Texas, in 1971. He attended the University of Houston for one year before enlisting in the Navy, and started his duties with a tour in Guam. Shortly thereafter, he was selected for an enlisted commissioning program and was assigned, while on active duty to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where he completed a four year degree in Electrical Engineering. He was commissioned an Ensign, US Navy in 1979. Various sea tours in the Mediterranean and visits in Spain, Tunisia, Italy, and Monaco heightened Dave’s interest in social nudism. Dave’s status as a US Navy officer precluded active participation in the nudist lifestyle until he retired in 1994 and made his residence in Jacksonville, Florida. Dave visited several nudists resort in the interim years and in 2000, he met his wife Kassie and they started actively visiting resorts and the clothing optional beaches in Florida, and were married at the Sunny Sands Resort in Pierson, Florida in September 2001. In 2013, Dave and Kassie founded the AANR chartered First Coast Naturists Social Nudists club, using the MEETUP.com interest platform to create and administer the group. Dave was nominated and elected to the Florida AANR board in 2020.
President

Ralph Collinson

I have been a lifelong nudist starting in grade school in the 1950’s.

I have been a lifelong nudist starting in grade school in the 1950’s. During the first half of my life I enjoyed nude recreation on public lands in New England, Virginia and Florida. Upon moving to Florida my wife and I became associated with the North East Florida Naturists (NFN) and we were introduced to AANR and we are now lifetime members. I have been very active in AANR and naturist concerns in Florida over the last 15 years. I’m a past president and director of NFN. Past president (three terms) and director of AANR-Florida. Current Florida Member Trustee on the AANR Board. Over the last 10 years I have worked to enhance nude recreation in Florida. During this time, we have gained a new naturist beach and solidified our hold on several others. We have gained acceptance by the State of Florida as a special interest tourist industry with a significant monitory impact. We are active members of Visit Florida dedicated to attracting nudists worldwide to nude recreation in Florida. During my tenure in Florida we have been able to unify the various nudist organizations to speak with one voice. In addition to AANR I’m also a member of South Florida Free Beaches, First Coast Naturist, Northeast Florida Naturists and The Naturist Society.

Secretary

Lu Ann Heintz

I have been part of AANR-Florida since June of 2011 when my husband and I became members.

I have been part of AANR-Florida since June of 2011 when my husband and I became members. I assisted in the Opening of a new club called Sunnier Pines located in Jay, FL which was owned by an AANR member who leased a campground from the owner to run as a nudist campground. I became manager of this club in 2012 and worked until the lease was over in July of 2014, when at that time the owner of the campground took over and renamed it Hidden Lake. During this time I was elected to be a Director on the Board of Directors in 2013. In June of 2015, President Ralph Collinson at that time, elected me to be Secretary/Treasurer for the Board of Directors and I have been elected every year since. My husband and I live in NW Florida outside of Jay, which is near Pensacola.. We have 2 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 1 great grandson, and another one on the way.
