We are weeks away from the beginning of a new year. 2014 is right around the corner. Many of us are focused on ending this year as strong as we can, while planning for the next. My hope is that you have achieved your goals for 2013, and that 2014 is a great year for you as well.

  

There are many things that we can look at this year as an association and feel good about what we have accomplished. As the Congressional Budget Office looked for tax revenue, we went to DC, 1,000-members strong, to explain to our legislators what harm that would do to our clients and our nation as a whole. We were heard loud and clear.

  

In our state, where the homeowners market always seems to be in crisis, we were able to help craft language that helps our members to better serve their clients and, in the end, help their bottom line.

  

At the local level we have had some great programs.  Our 40- Hour Prelicensing Course in partnership with UNF is going strong and we are partnering with them to provide the Series 6 Course at the end of February.  We are also hosting A Day of CE on February 17th. Remember that out Annual Awards Luncheon will be Wednesday, January 22nd at the University Club followed by 1 hour of CE. This program will feature the 2013 recipients of the C.G. Snead/J.F. Bryan, III Memorial Award and the Community Service Award, the National Quality Award Winners and MDRT qualifiers.

  

In membership registrations, we are working hard and gaining ground. With the help of our membership committee, we have been able to increase membership by 13 new members. We are currently at about 268 and we are looking to end the year on June 30 with 300 members. To reach that goal we need everyone to help. If each one of us brings in one new member, we can surpass our goal of 300.

  

Please help us so that we can continue 
protecting this great business of ours.
