The Florida Workers’ Compensation Joint Underwriting Association (“FWCJUA”) Board of Governors (“Board”) met today, September 27, 2011, in Sarasota, Florida, during which it unanimously approved a 9.7 percent overall average premium decrease for new and renewal business.

  • Retention of the current Board Vice Chair/Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary for another term;
  • Re-confirmation of the continued holding of the two Lehman Brothers bonds and the CitiGroup bond within the FWCJUA’s portfolio as authorized Investment Policy exceptions;
  • Extension of RSM McGladrey’s engagement for a 2012 information technology network security audit, for a fee of $7,500;
