FEDS is proud to announce the endorsements from a number of
federal employee associations.

Each and every one of these endorsements is the result of hard work and proven results on behalf of federal employees. We would like to thank every organization, association, union and employee group for continually assisting us so that we may provide the best information, coverage and legal representation for all federal employees.

Senior Executives Association

"SEA strongly encourages those whose interests it represents--the federal executive community--to purchase professional liability insurance. SEA is the non-profit professional association that promotes ethical and dynamic public service by fostering an outstanding federal executive corps and by advocating the interests of career executives. The Association believes that a professional liability policy provides the peace of mind that allows government leaders to make tough decisions everyday knowing they will be protected. We have carefully considered the policy offered by FEDS, and the quality of claims processing and legal representation provided under the plan.

Based on this review, SEA is exclusively endorsing the FEDS policy to its members.”

-- Carol Bonosaro, President

Federal Wildland Fire Service Association

FWFSA has chosen FEDS as its preferred provider of Professional Liability Protection to its members. (Read endorsement or visit FWFSA Endorsement)

"This endorsement comes with the recognition of your exemplary support and representation of federal wildland firefighters involved in both the Thirty Mile & Cramer incidents. Your intimate knowledge of the issues facing our federal wildland firefighters as well as the variety of benefits provided under your plan clearly demonstrates your intent to provide federal wildland firefighters and all federal employees with the best possible protection.

We believe the new plan provides superior benefits to federal wildland firefighters as compared to the policies currently available on the market. Further, the premium costs for FEDS is less than comparable policies and are discounted further for FWFSA members."

Casey Judd, Business Manager

National Association of Federal Veterinarians

NAFV Endorses the FEDS Professional Liability Program.

"NAFV is exclusively endorsing the FEDS professional liability program. After careful consideration of the liability protection and benefits offered by FEDS (Federal Employee Defense Services, Inc.), NAFV is recommending this liability protection to its members. This recommendation is based upon the coverage offered by membership in FEDS (see news article for more information on the actual benefits), and the quality of both claims processing and legal defense provided under its plan. Further, both FEDS and its claims administrator have a commitment to and understanding of the federal community, and specifically the professional federal veterinary community."

Dr. Michael Gilsdorf, Executive Vice President

Professional Managers Association

"On behalf of the Board of Directors of PMA and our nationwide members, I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with PMA’s endorsement of your new professional liability product.

This endorsement comes with the recognition that a number of our members have been represented by you and because of your intimate knowledge with the IRS were successful in your representation. Your knowledge of the issues facing IRS managers has been proven time and time again and that coupled with the benefits gives my members piece of mind.

We are pleased to partner with you to help protect our members from the unpleasantness of section 1203 and 1204 as well as the vagaries of unsubstantiated misconduct charges. We always are looking for ways to provide good, solid benefits for our members at a cost commensurate with the value received. This is one such benefit.

Again, thank you for joining as a partner with PMA and providing an outstanding product, at a very competitive price, in the area of liability insurance. I firmly believe this is an excellent value compared to other offerings and that your knowledge of civil service law makes the decision to purchase liability insurance very easy."

"Every law enforcement officer understands the enormous amount of liability exposure that an officer is confronted with on a daily basis by virtue of his profession or avocation. It is immaterial whether the officer’s time on duty or off duty is as a paid employee or as a volunteer such as a Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO). In every case, the liability exposure is the same when an officer is confronted with the possibility of having to deploy lethal force.

A Professional Liability Insurance plan is a vital element in an officers strategy to protect himself and his family from financial harm. To this end, the Federal Flight Deck Officers Association (FFDOA), and pilot associations ALPA, and CAPA jointly collaborated with FEDS to make available to all FFDO's this important insurance plan.

If an FFDO is operating in accordance with the FFDO SOP, on or off Mission Status, he is covered under this plan and with or without TSA representation. This plan is comparable to that purchased by thousands of other Federal Law Enforcement Officers and is a must for every FFDO."

National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys

Interior Department Recreation Association (IDRA)

"As Executive Director of IDRA, I am committed to bringing all Department of Interior employees the very best products in continuum with IDRA's mission. Because professional liability insurance coverage is so important to the financial well-being of our employees, I have carefully sought out and selected the FEDS product due, in part, to its commitment to serve federal employees and firsthand knowledge about the exposures facing Interior Department employees. We believe the FEDS professional liability program is superior to all others and have switched our endorsement from another company because of it. We have encouraged all of our members to do the same as we believe there is no better program or value out there."
