On Thursday. March 5th, AIF released the following press release regarding AIF's General Counsel, Tammy Perdue.

Tallahassee, Fla. – The Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) today announced that Tamela Perdue, general counsel of AIF, will be participating as a panelist in the 31st Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) Annual Issues & Research Conference in Boston, Mass., on Friday, March 6, 2015.

“Workers’ compensation is one of the most important issues for Florida businesses and their employees, and AIF’s Workers’ Compensation Coalition for Business & Industry played a key role in achieving significant system reforms, which led to a decrease in rates, coupled with increased access to coverage in the last decade,” said Perdue.  “Our organization remains committed to maintaining Florida’s successful workers’ compensation system here and we are thrilled to be included in this prestigious conference that WCRI holds each year.  I look forward to sharing the successes we’ve seen here in Florida, as well as learn what has been affective in other states that we could implement here in the State of Florida to improve our system further.”

Perdue’s panel, “Resilience: Lessons from two decades of reforms,” will focus on exploring what has, and what has not worked, in terms of reforming workers’ compensation state-by-state in the last 20 years.
