Last month, more than 520 team members, including sales producers, operations leadership, agency partners and special guests, gathered in Tampa, Florida, for Foundation Risk Partners’ (FRP) 3rd Annual Sales Summit. Attendees came together to learn, connect and collaborate under the dynamic BIG WAVE theme of propelling growth, fostering innovation and redefining excellence. This special sales event not only provided valuable insights, it offered the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the exceptional contributions of some of our team members and partnered agencies from this past year.

The two-day event was highlighted by a special awards dinner, led by CEO and Chairman Charlie Lydecker, and included an inspiring life story of strength, resilience and leadership shared by FRP Board Member Lieutenant General Bruce T. Crawford. And the keynote address was made by Brent Gleeson, a Navy SEAL Combat Veteran, Forbes Leadership columnist and two-time bestselling author (including Embrace The Suck). His powerful message complimented General Crawford’s, as he shared insights on leading high-performing teams, embracing change and the mental fortitude it takes to be successful. It was an unforgettable evening that embodied the essence of the Foundation Risk Partners’ mission.

A sincere thank you to all of the speakers and presenters, and to other producers and agencies who made a special mark in achieving our annual goals – they were mentioned during the ceremony. Finally, thank you to the incredible marketing team that coordinated the event under the leadership of SVP Jessica Parkhurst and CMO Brian Feeley.
