Ricci Insurance Group Helps Shape the Future of Florida’s Insurance Industry

At Ricci Insurance Group, we believe expertise is something you continue to build throughout your career.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Melissa Crane, Manager of our Agency Support Team, has been selected to participate in the 2026 Florida Insurance Test Development Meetings, hosted by Pearson and the Florida Department of Financial Services.

These meetings bring together experienced insurance professionals from across Florida to review, revise, and develop the licensing examinations that future Florida insurance agents must pass before entering the profession. Participants evaluate content outlines, edit existing exam questions, and write new test items to ensure the exams accurately reflect current Florida insurance laws, regulations, and industry best practices.

Being selected to serve on this committee recognizes Melissa’s expertise and gives her the opportunity to help strengthen the future of Florida’s insurance industry. By contributing to the licensing process, she is helping ensure that new insurance professionals enter the workforce with the knowledge and ethical foundation needed to properly serve consumers across our state.

This opportunity is especially important to us because we are passionate about attracting talented people to the insurance profession and helping them build successful careers. As our agency continues to grow, we regularly hire individuals from both inside and outside the insurance industry and invest heavily in their education, licensing, and professional development. Having one of our leaders contribute to the licensing exams that prepare Florida’s future insurance professionals is a natural extension of that commitment.

At Ricci Insurance Group, we believe leadership includes giving back to the profession. Whether serving on carrier advisory councils, supporting legislative initiatives, mentoring insurance professionals, or helping shape Florida’s licensing standards, we are committed to making our industry stronger for the benefit of consumers across our state.

Congratulations to Melissa on this well-deserved opportunity. We are proud to support her as she helps shape the future of insurance education and licensing in Florida.
