Folks, After an historically muted, yet still enjoyable, Masters (in November??) weekend, I hope everyone's week is getting off to a great start. And as we all stare at our calendars' looming end of year deadlines and holiday preparations, I just wanted to give everyone a brief update on the Insurance & Surety Committee's Winter 2020-21 CLE and Meeting schedule. First, there will not be a meeting today at noon. In its place, and two weeks from Thursday, on *December 3, 2020, at 3:00 p.m.*, we will be hosting a joint, Live and Zoom meeting and CLE with the Construction Law Committee at the next RPPTL Section Executive Council Meeting. Our speaker for that meeting will be *Adam Bild*, and his presentation is titled: *"Cautionary Tales in Insurance Claims: Insurers and Their Agents." *The EC Meeting is taking place at the *Disney Yacht Club Resort* in the greater Orlando area. And we are slated to be in the *Newport Salon A & B* rooms. I've also attached the Brochure and Schedule for that meeting. For those that will be in the area and are interested in attending our meeting in-person, please feel free to stop by and join us. Or, if you are not currently planning on attending the upcoming EC Meeting, due to Covid or to work logistics, please feel free to join us via Zoom. The link for the Zoom meeting will be going out closer to the presentation date. While I will be attending the meeting in-person to help make sure everything runs smoothly, I want to be clear that no one is obligated to attend in person, so please feel free to join us via Zoom. Next, please note that we are also not planning on convening our monthly meetings for the months of December 2020 and January 2021. Historically, these months have been the most difficult to secure CLE speakers and often the most lightly attended. Additionally, we've also come across conflicts with National Holidays on the third Monday of January (and February for that matter). So, in their place, we are planning on convening a meeting and CLE at the next EC Meeting at the *Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, FL, on February 4 or 5, 2021*. We are currently planning on having Charles Comiskey present (and he has been a Committee-favorite speaker for us on multiple occasions in the past), and we'll send over more details on that presentation once we are a bit closer to that date. After that EC Meeting, we are looking at having a speaker on our *February 22, 2021 *meeting, but please note that is the 4th Monday of the month, which is due again to a National Holiday. After that, and starting in March, we are planning to get back to our regularly scheduled meetings on the 3rd Monday of the month. I hope each of you have a Happy Thanksgiving next week. And I also hope to get to see many of you at the EC Meeting in December, whether it be in-person or virtually. Best regards, Michael Michael G. Meyer Chair of the Insurance & Surety Committee, RPPTL Section, The Florida Bar (813) 924-2983
