Slaughter Insurance Agency operates from 321 Ocean Avenue, Suite 212, in Melbourne Beach, Florida, providing both personal and commercial insurance coverage to clients in the Brevard County area. Owner Michael J. Slaughter established the agency in 2015 and brings more than 12 years of industry experience, having previously worked at agencies in Brevard County and within a large independent commercial agency. Team member Andrea Taylor has held insurance licenses for more than 15 years and is pursuing additional credentials.

On the personal side, the agency writes homeowner insurance that includes fire, flood, hurricane, builder’s risk, short-term, and renters coverage. Auto policies extend to cars, SUVs, and trucks, and the agency also insures boats, motorcycles, RVs, and golf carts. This range reflects the coastal Florida market it serves, where hurricane and flood exposure are common considerations for property owners.

Commercial offerings cover general liability, property, and directors and officers coverage, along with workers compensation, payroll services, errors and omissions, landlord liability, and business auto policies. The agency describes its process as analyzing each client’s unique insurance needs to provide appropriate coverage at competitive rates, positioning itself as a resource for local business owners as well as individuals and families.

The firm emphasizes community service, with staff describing a commitment to client relationships and local engagement in the Melbourne Beach community. As an agency model, it works to match clients with suitable policies across personal and commercial lines rather than focusing on a single product type.

Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The agency can be reached by phone at (321) 473-8751, with additional email contacts listed on its website. For residents and businesses along Florida’s Space Coast, Slaughter Insurance Agency offers a locally owned option spanning home, auto, recreational vehicle, and a broad set of commercial coverages.

The Florida Student Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established November 17, 1976, that represents more than 430,000 students across Florida’s twelve public universities. Operating from Tallahassee, Florida, its membership is made up of the student body presidents of all State University System institutions, including the University of Florida, Florida State University, University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, Florida International University, Florida A&M University, Florida Atlantic University, Florida Gulf Coast University, University of North Florida, University of West Florida, New College of Florida, and Florida Polytechnic University.

Under Article IX, Section 7 of the Florida Constitution, the association’s chair serves as a full voting member of the Florida Board of Governors, the body overseeing the State University System. The organization describes this provision as giving it the only student in the room where the system is governed.

The association advocates on four primary issues: college affordability and protection of the Bright Futures scholarship, student mental health funding, campus safety infrastructure, and textbook cost transparency. It coordinates an annual legislative effort called Rally in Tally, during which students from all twelve universities travel to the state capital during legislative sessions to lobby on these priorities.

Stated achievements include helping initiate the Florida Prepaid College Program, noted as having more than 1.6 million plans purchased since 1987, and advocacy connected to 396 million dollars allocated for campus safety and mental health in 2022. The organization also supported expansion of medical-amnesty law in 2019 and conducted a statewide voter-registration drive.

A board structure leads the organization, with a Chair and two Vice-Chairs handling internal and external responsibilities. The association lists an email contact, headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida, and EIN 59-1673603. As a statewide student voice tied to the constitutional governance of public higher education, it functions as a central advocacy body for Florida’s university students.
