[Liability Insurance] Florida Bar Insurance & Surety Committee Meeting

[Wright, Wm. Cary]

Everyone:

As you know, the Insurance & Surety Committee will be having an in-person meeting at the upcoming Executive Council meeting in Tallahassee (February 7-9th).  We will be having a joint meeting with the Residential Real Estate and Industry Liaison ("RREIL") Committee.   Thanks to Trey Goldman, our guest speaker for the joint meeting will be Christine Ashburn, Director of Legislative & External Affairs at Citizens Property Insurance Corporation.   Citizens is the largest property insurer in Florida, with over 1.4 million policies and it is growing at a rate of almost 8,000 policies per week.  It is taxpayer owned and its existence and impact in Florida has been in the news a lot recently.  Whether we like it or not, Citizens is a part of our lives in Florida.  If you or your clients have any kind of insurance or need insurance in Florida, Citizens will impact each of you and your policies.  Trey has asked Ms. Ashburn to provide us a brief history of Citizens, a snapshot of today's numbers and their impact on Florida insurance from all sources, recent reforms, and the necessity for further reforms/depopulation as well as what that might look like.  I am sure that she will have a lot to tell us and a lot that we can use personally and to assist our clients.

Attached is the Committee Meeting Schedule.  The Insurance & Surety Committee will meet on Friday, February 8, 2013  at 1 pm for a short meeting, and then move to  the RREIL Committee meeting at 1:20  p.m.

I look forward to seeing everyone.

Regards,

Cary
