Vol. 13, No. 1 - January 2024
Welcome
It's been the honor of a lifetime to serve alongside the amazing men and women of DFS as your CFO and State Fire Marshal. These fantastic public servants have worked throughout the year to make the lives of Floridians better in 2023. This year brought some unique challenges, but despite all of the trials, our DFS team leaned forward to aid Floridians following storms and support our first responders as they worked to serve our communities. From our teams who responded to Hurricane Ian, Nicole, and Idalia recovery efforts, to our sworn law enforcement officials who are cracking down on insurance fraud that impacts all of our rates, our agency has never been stronger. We’ve got dedicated consumer services employees who are fielding calls each day to hold insurers accountable to policyholders, we’ve got teams of professionals who are returning hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed property back to their rightful owners, and we’ve got folks that are managing billions of dollars in taxpayer money to ensure we’re being fiscally accountable and getting the best return on state investments. I want to give a huge thank you to team DFS and the thousands of public servants across the state who support Floridians each day and I look forward to more great accomplishments in 2024.
Sincerely,
