On Tuesday, January 19th, representatives from Hotwire Communications attended the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards kick-off cocktail reception at the Ft. Lauderdale offices of Becker & Poliakoff - Legal and Business Strategists. The reception included attendees from property management companies, service vendors, attorneys and various members of the community association industry.

The cocktails reception serves as the kick-off leading up to the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards which Hotwire Communications is sponsoring. The conference and awards gala event is Friday, May 13, 2016 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

Founded in 2009, the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards is the only independent recognition program for community associations throughout Florida. Any community association in Florida is eligible to enter: condominiums, home owners associations and cooperatives.

Hotwire Communications is thrilled to be a Diamond sponsor of this annual gala awards event, whose program enables the top communities in the state to promote their accomplishments while empowering others to learn from their examples. There are 12 categories with 36 judges who are representatives of Florida, plus those from non-profit and professional organizations.

It is an honor to enter and be recognized for volunteer boards, professional managers, committee members and more to be recognized and acclaimed for their dedication and hard work within their communities. Winning an award category assists in building camaraderie and community spirit.

“The cocktail reception is a great opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the major companies in the South Florida community management business. We are fortunate to provide Fision® service in many of their communities, and look forward to serving their other communities in the future,” said David Ramos, Hotwire Regional Vice President. “We are also thrilled to sponsor the awards event and are looking forward to the conference on May 13 to celebrate the excellence of these outstanding communities who work tirelessly to offer the best standard of living to their residents.”
