FSAE, like everyone else, is closely watching the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its effects in Florida and the nation. We understand the concerns for the health and safety of yourself, your staff and your members, as well as the financial impact. 

The FSAE Office is open and staff has the option to work remotely. We are all working and will respond to your questions, concerns, emails and phone calls. We also have a brand-new feature to text our main phone number (850) 222-7994 to reach us as well.
