As in previous years, our December issue offers readers a retrospective of the topics we covered over these past 12 months. Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, and legislative and regulatory activity justifiably earned space in most issues. However, we also provided extensive coverage on workers' compensation, excess and surplus lines, a variety of agency management topics, health care, and many of the ancillary lines of coverage that round out an agency's book of business.

We invite you to revisit this past year in the excerpts below. As an added bonus, our revamped web site makes it is easy to find the full text of all of the stories highlighted here. Simply go to www.floridaunderwriter.com, select the appropriate month from the pull-down menu, and enjoy a second read of the entire article. The titles of excerpted articles are noted below for easy reference.

Our web site catalogs all of our articles, along with our directories and calendars, ina user-friendly and intuitive environment. In addition to accessing this archive service, we encourage you to visit the site on a regular basis for the latest information on the Florida insurance industry.
