In 2009, the Florida Association of Self Insurance (FASI) proudly marks its 40th year of service to our state's self-insured community.
FASI was formed in 1969 to promote and maintain a healthy environment for workers' compensation self-insurance in Florida. Due to market conditions, those early years were a time of rapid growth for individual self-insureds and self-insurance industry funds. These included public and private employers who eventually represented a very large percentage of workers' compensation premium in the state.
The Department of Labor, Division of Workers' Compensation had a Bureau of Self-Insurance whose chief was the late and very smart Joe Mastrovito. Soft-spoken and wise, Joe worked tirelessly to assist those employers who chose to be self-insured. His patience and advice helped many of us avoid some serious mistakes and missteps. I had his number on my Rolodex(R) for years, even after he moved from the bureau.
