REPRESENTATIVE CLAY FORD RECEIVES

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE YEAR AWARD

PENSACOLA, FL – Today the Florida Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (FAIFA) awarded State Representative Clay Ford (District 3) with their Representative of the Year Award at the monthly meeting of the Pensacola chapter. The award is given for exemplary Leadership and assistance with insurance legislation affecting financial advisors and the citizens of Florida.

Rep. Ford was honored for his work on SB2082/HB 1003 which was passed during the past legislative session and was signed by the Governor. The law is intended to protect seniors from unfair and unlawful practices in the sale of annuities.

“I am grateful for the honor of this award,” said Representative Ford,” it was a privilege to be a part of passing a law that protects seniors while still allowing financial advisors to serve their customers.”
