National Flood Insurance Program Recognizes Southern Family Insurance’s Contributions

Tampa, Fla.-based Southern Family Insurance Company, a member of Poe Financial Group, was recognized by the National Flood Insurance Program during its recent annual conference in Marco Island, Fla. Southern Family Insurance, one of the NFIP Write Your Own flood insurance companies, was a recipient of the “Administrator’s Club Award” for the second consecutive year. The award recognizes WYO companies for their contribution to the growth of the NFIP program. Southern Family Insurance was one of five companies recognized nationally for their efforts.

“We are very pleased to be recognized by the NFIP again this year,” Jim Wurdeman, Poe Financial Group president and CEO commented. “We give special thanks to our independent agent partners and to National Flood Services for continued support in helping us expand the flood program to so many of our policyholders.”

Poe Financial Group was formed anew in 1996 and is the latest business venture of its founder W.F. Poe. Poe’s previous company was Poe & Associates, the publicly traded company, which was the largest property and casualty agency in Florida and the 12th largest in the nation when it was merged as Poe & Brown in 1993. Under the direction of founding businessman, William F. Poe, Sr., Poe Financial Group was established in 1996 as Southern Family Insurance Company. By January 2003, Poe Financial had acquired Atlantic Preferred Insurance and formed Florida Preferred Property Insurance Company.

Poe Financial Group’s member companies, Atlantic Preferred Insurance Company, Florida Preferred Property Insurance Company and Southern Family Insurance Company, offer a broad range of insurance services while specializing in homeowner (including condo-unit owner) and commercial habitational insurance. Poe Financial is one of the largest property insurers in the state of Florida.
