Associated Industries of Florida
Associated Industries of
Florida
is a voluntary association of diversified businesses,
created for the purpose of pursuing mutual benefit through
cooperation in programs designed to create and foster an
economic climate in Florida conducive to the growth,
development, and welfare of industry and business and the people
of the state.
Since 1920, Associated Industries of Florida has stood firm on
the side of prosperity and free enterprise. With headquarters
standing on the road that connects the state Capitol building to
the governor's mansion, AIF represents the link between
responsible public policy and a thriving marketplace.
Member companies hail from every corner of the state and
represent every segment of Florida's private sector. Despite
their diversity, they join together through AIF to make sure the
principles of economic liberty get a fair hearing before the
state's elected officials, Supreme Court justices, and
bureaucrats.
The association's activities are supervised by a board of
directors, chosen from an elite group of Florida CEOs from
member companies. They donate their experience in running
successful corporations to AIF; their backing and guidance give
the association its ability to effect positive public policies
in Tallahassee.
Florida's employers are the very base of our economy. AIF works
to keep that foundation strong by confronting challenges from
many angles, combining the knowledge and experience of the staff
with the application of the newest tools technology has to
offer.

Jan 2005 Survey in Florida Shows
Public Support For Tort Reform |
|
The
Associated Industries of
Florida (AIF) and the
Florida Coalition for Legal
Reform sponsored a
public opinion study of 500
likely general election voters. The results of the
Florida Statewide Tort Reform Study clearly show that
Floridians favor “legal and tort reform,” that they feel there
are too many lawsuits being filed, and most significantly that
they feel that the number of lawsuits being filed are indeed
hurtful to Florida’s economy.
The poll questions were developed carefully to insure that there
would be no “push” questions or even inferences that might taint
the final results. AIF’s desire was to have polling numbers
that can withstand any scrutiny.
