Florida Insurance Council Chair Tom Koval has announced a re-organization of the group's committee structure and named chairs and vice chairs. Koval said the changes were designed to help eliminate redundant efforts and increase interaction among the various lines of insurance that FIC represents.

One of the major changes is the creation of Advocacy Procedures, designed to govern all issues related to FIC's advocacy, from conflicts of interest, to hiring consultants, to the creation of formal legislative positions.

At the core of the Advocacy Program is the creation of a mechanism through which recommended legislative positions are filtered, adopted, or disapproved with opportunities for all to have input and a voice at varying levels.

A legislative committee has been created to accomplish this and appointments have been made. The FIC officers fill four of the committee positions: Koval, FCCI Group, Sarasota; FIC Chair-Elect George Grawe, Allstate, St. Petersburg; FIC Vice Chair/Treasurer Bill Dudley, AFLAC, Columbus, Georgia; FIC Vice Chair/Secretary Kurt Driscoll, First Professionals Insurance Company, Jacksonville. FIC members Mike Jennings of Prudential Financial in Jacksonville, Rob Henderson of USAA in Tallahassee, and Harry Spring of Humana in Miramar round out the committee.
