FMA Letter to Competitors
January 3, 2012
Dear Fellow Courier Company Owner:
We would like to extend an invitation for you to join the Florida Messenger
Association (FMA). In doing so, you will help further our mission of
improving and advancing the common business interests of messengers,
couriers, transportation services, and related companies throughout the
state of Florida for the benefit of the public need for such services.
Although we are each leaders of Jacksonville-based companies - and compete
for business on a daily basis - we recognize the benefit of joining
together for the greater good of our industry. We are so committed to the
health of our industry, as well as the benefits of the FMA for our
companies, that we are all actively involved in the FMA.
The association provides information, education, vendor support, as well as
government affairs activities. Most importantly, the FMA has been
influential in the passage of several statutes which clarify the definition
of an independent contractor for the purpose of workers compensation
insurance, unemployment insurance, and most recently, for local business
tax purposes.
Our winter meeting will be held on January 26th and 27th in Orlando. The
meeting will have educational value for you; and your company will benefit
from the information shared at our meeting. In addition, there are
networking opportunities with fellow courier company owners throughout the
state.
We strongly encourage you to join us for what is shaping up to be our best
meeting to date. For more details, please go to floridamessenger.org. If
you would like to speak to any one of us, please feel free to contact us
directly.
Sincerely,
