FEDS January Newsletter
Happy 2025!
We hope you had a great holiday season and want to continue the tradition of our first newsletter of each year expressing our gratitude to the federal employees and public servants who keep our government operating and country safe. Thank you for trusting FEDS Protection to be your professional liability insurance (PLI) provider and to help protect your career and financial security for nearly two decades.
While each January typically marks new opportunities and possibilities, federal managers can also use the occasion to reflect on the previous challenges of the past to move forward. Many issues, along with new challenges, will surely follow federal managers and supervisors into 2025.
Every federal employee has some level of liability exposure, but federal management may be at a greater risk than they realize this year. Even if workplace allegations are ultimately untrue, the cost of defending against an adverse administrative action, disciplinary proceeding, or civil lawsuit can be devastating. Professional liability insurance from FEDS Protection is available to help protect federal managers and supervisors when the unexpected happens.
The New Year is a great time to evaluate your financial and career stability. A PLI policy from FEDS Protection is a valuable layer of security and peace of mind. If you are the subject of an investigation or allegation centered on actions taken within the scope of your employment, having PLI can make an enormous difference in how such a situation would affect your career and your financial security. Below, FEDS Protection has a short video below highlighting the difference having a PLI policy makes:

Did You Know?
An estimated 27.6 million people (including children) are subjected to human trafficking around the world and includes the United States. We are grateful for the federal employees across the country and the world that combat this horrendous act against human life. We hope each of you can play a small part in the path toward progress and continue to do so in your own way.
Testimonials
"I served as a senior executive with the FAA for 24 of my 33 years of public service and strongly recommend that all supervisors, managers and senior executives have the FEDS Professional Liability insurance as their trusted partner. Public service is a wonderful experience, but having FEDS Professional Liability insurance as a partner is critical. Leadership requires risk taking and making difficult decisions that often create controversy and conflict that can adversely affect your successful career. Employees make false accusations for many reasons that often take months or years to investigate and adjudicate. It is a lonely journey to resolution even if all the allegations are unfounded. I found FEDS Professional Liability insurance to be an outstanding value. The small annual premium is one of the best insurance protection plans I have ever purchased. FEDS Professional Liability insurance is backed by the outstanding professionals of the Shaw, Bransford & Roth, P.C. law firm. They provided me tremendous personal support for nearly 20 years. (...) They were always responsive, responsible, earnest and pro-active professionals in every regard. Leadership is lonely. Your interests will not always coincide with your agencies. A smart public servant has professional insurance. In my opinion, you won’t do better than FEDS Professional Liability insurance as your trusted partner.”
