We are excited to spotlight Evergreen Insurance Agency in this edition of FUBA in Focus. Having joined FUBA just last year, Evergreen has quickly risen to the top of our agency force.
Established in 2006, Evergreen Insurance is a multi-million dollar agency founded on the idea that each and every customer deserves the same quality service regardless of the size of the account. They are dedicated to excellent customer service while providing the best coverage for the most competitive price.
Owner Jennifer McDeavitt employs 17 well-trained professionals, each having over 10 years of experience, whose hard work has contributed to the rapid growth and success of the agency. In just three short years the agency has grown tremendously, creating a need for a larger facility. Evergreen is thrilled that the expansion into their new 6,000 square foot office is complete.
Using state-of-the-art computer automation, they are a full-lines agency writing statewide and focusing on southeast Florida. In addition to writing insurance, Evergreen stays active in their local community, volunteering with Toys for Tots, Race for Faith and also Race for the Cure.
“The quote turn-around time [at FUBA] has been instrumental in our success,” Evergreen tells us, “and we are looking forward to continuing our great working relationship.” FUBA Workers’ Comp hopes to continue growing with Evergreen Insurance for many years to come.

Come see your Marketing/Sales & Underwriting Teams at FAIA’s 105th Anniversary Convention & Trade Show on June 18-19, 2009 in Orlando, FL. If you are going to be attending, please stop by Booth #s 313 & 315. We have some fun gifts for you and would love to say hello.
Because the Underwriting staff will be out of the office for those days, if you have any submissions that need to be bound June 18-19, please make sure you get them to us before those dates. The Underwriters will be checking their email periodically at the Convention, but if you know of anything ahead of time, it will make it easier on everyone the sooner you can submit it to us.

For more details on the FAIA Convention, please visit http://www.faia.com/. We hope to see you there!
