With the best interests of our members, sponsors, speakers and guests in mind, the FDLA Board of Directors has decided to cancel the in-person 2020 Florida Liability Claims Conference (FLCC), which was scheduled to take place in Orlando, Florida on June 3-5, 2020. We will begin processing your pre-paid registration refunds shortly, which will be made in the original method of payment. As for any hotel reservations you may have made directly with Walt Disney World, you may contact them to cancel with no penalty. Please note Disney has informed us they will honor the group rate for anyone who wishes to keep their reservations.
This decision was made after careful consideration of many variables including state and local guidelines as well as the health and safety of our attendees. No further decisions about other scheduled FDLA activities or events have been made at this time.
We are currently exploring ways to provide alternative opportunities to share timely information, offer continuing education credits, and provide inspiration that will help us guide the objectives of the FDLA forward in the months and years to come. As you may know, FDLA has been on the forefront of providing our members and non-members with free weekly webinars through a series entitled “Winning at Working from Home.” These webinars are not only timely, but offer valuable CLE credits at no cost. If you have any ideas or suggestions for potential webinars, please contact our Executive Director, Ana Ramos.
We look forward to continuing to focus our energy on the FDLA’s mission of being the voice of the civil defense bar. And in this difficult time during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are especially focused on that mission.
Our communities need our support more than ever, and with your continued support and engagement with the FDLA, we will be ready to get our respective communities back to a sense of normalcy.
Stay well,
Devang Desai
President, FDLA
