The Florida Surplus Lines Association is an association with a current regular membership of 74 Excess and Surplus Lines Agency member firms and 34 associate members (made up of Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance Companies, Re-insurers, Lloyd's Brokers, Premium Finance Companies, Surveyor's and Claim Adjustment firms). The purpose of the FSLA is outlined in Article I of our By-Laws.
Our primary concern is keeping up with proposed legislation that may effect the Surplus Lines industry in Florida. Over the years when the Florida Department of Financial Services, or the Legislature has proposed a bill or legislation that would adversely effect our business, we have been 98% effective in defeating or changing the proposed changes to surplus lines. We have also been very effective in proposing legislation that is beneficial to our industry.
We have a PAC fund called SURPAC that we use to support candidates for the Florida Senate and House of Representatives that look with favor on our industry. While we encourage our members to participate in our PAC fund, it is voluntary.
Each year, usually in the middle of the summer season, we have an annual convention which is well attended. Our convention moves around to different first class resorts in Florida. We have excellent programs and speakers during our business sessions. The majority of our company members attend our annual convention. This gives our agency members an opportunity to visit with their company representatives and socialize with them.
The Florida Surplus Lines Association is recognized as one of the most active and in the top three Surplus Lines Associations in the country.
