Showcase Your Excellence - Submit Your Entry for Consideration by Independent Judges in the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards! 

This independently judged program enables the top communities in the state to promote their accomplishments and raise their profiles while documenting their success and enabling others to learn from their accomplishments across numerous categories.  Publisher and sponsor Jim McMurray noted the awards "saw 100% growth in its first two years and the program will expand even further for 2011.”   Florida Community Association Journal co-founded the Awards with the law firm Becker & Poliakoff, P.A.

Communities often rely upon the advice, effort and fortitude of their managers.  Therefore, "Managers of Excellence”  will also be selected.  This award is to recognize professionals working with communities that have distinguished themselves with consistently high rankings in the initial three years of the Awards.

There are plenty of categories so every size, type and shape of community can participate.  Go to:  Florida Communities of Excellence for more information and entry forms.

 Did you know you can potentially collect full policy limits from both your flood and property insurance policies?  Do you know how?

According to the National Flood Insurance Program, flood is the most common disaster in the United States.  On average flood claims stem from more than thirty thousand ($30,000) worth of damages.

Did you know that almost 25% of flood insurance claims come from moderate to low risk areas?

Floods do not discriminate.  They can and do happen all over the country.  Flood damages may be due to a heavy rainstorm or hurricane, melting snow, plumbing malfunctions, levee or dam failures and rising bodies of water.  Even new development can cause floods due to a change in the drainage patterns of adjacent properties.   

Becker & Poliakoff's Disaster Claims Recovery Team is in place to help you prepare for the consequences of a flood in your community. Answers to important questions will be provided in this live web event:

• What exactly does flood insurance cover?
• Who needs it?
• Are community associations required to carry it? 

Join moderator Ken Direktor, Esq. of Becker & Poliakoff ( Ft. Lauderdale ), and Greg Marler, Esq. of Becker & Poliakoff ( Naples ), who will present with guest speaker Tammy LoVecchio, AAI of Gulfshore Insurance for this Free Webinar Flood Insurance: What You Should Know to Protect Your Community.
