A Fall Message from Your NABIP Florida President

Fall is officially here, and if you work in health insurance, you know that means fourth quarter craziness is officially here too!

Between Medicare Annual Enrollment, Individual and Family Open Enrollment, 1/1 renewals, client calls and everything else that comes with this time of year, I know how busy everyone is. I want to take a moment to wish each of you a successful enrollment season and thank you for everything you do for your clients and our industry.

Even in the middle of the fourth-quarter craziness, NABIP Florida is continuing to move forward with our focus on Participation, Advocacy, Education and Engagement.

I’m excited to share that on January 22 at 9:30 a.m., we will kick off our monthly statewide CE webinars with a timely topic: AI Isn’t the One Liable – You Are: Understanding Your Legal Responsibility. This webinar will be presented by Attorney Mindy McLester.

Advocacy also remains at the heart of NABIP. Our industry is changing quickly, and it is more important than ever that we stay informed, involved, and continue to speak with one voice.

Most importantly, I want to hear from you. Tell us what is working, what isn’t, and what you need from NABIP Florida. We can’t get better if we aren’t willing to listen, evolve and try new things.

For now, let’s survive fourth quarter! Take care of your clients, take care of each other, and every once in a while, remember to take care of yourself too.

Here’s to a successful finish to 2026 and continuing to Move NABIP Florida Forward—Together.
