In keeping with our charitable tradition, FMA recently held it's annual Great Texas Chili Cookoff Contest. FMA staff made tons of their own secret chili recipes, then everyone contributed $5 each in order to taste each dish. 100% of the donations (plus another 100% match from FMA) went to a local charity. It was a close vote, but this year's Grand Champion - the team of EARICKA NOLDEN, CHELSIE RUBEN and JUASHONA BOOSE!

FMA honors our veterans today, and every day.

While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that they have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms. The veterans of our military services pledged to put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment. The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to the entire world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.

Thank you for your service.

Today was FMA's annual Top Chef For Charity contest!! Thank you to all of the chefs that donated their time and money to cook some spectacular dishes. Wow! All FMA staff who paid $5 got a good helping of each dish without knowing who the cook was. They then voted on their favorite dish.

100% of the proceeds are donated to the Susan B Komen organization for a cure to breast cancer!

After 5 years of trying, this year's winner is Mike Janakes and his incredible ribs, bbq sauce and beans! And coming in 2nd place is Dionna Jones with an scrumptous roast.

Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone who made this charity event one of the best yet! Onward and upward, FMA!!

As you know, Louisiana has been devastated by unprecedented flooding these last several days. Not only did we send our thoughts and prayers, but FMA chose to do something tangible to help the many people affected by this natural disaster.

Thank you to everyone at FMA that moved so quickly in order to send relief items to our friends in Louisiana. In addition to the 30 Visa gift cards sent yesterday, we shipped several hundred pounds of food, clothing, blankets, toys, baby items and other basic necessities today…it will arrive there tomorrow. Your thoughtfulness and goodwill towards others will certainly make a positive in their lives.

I am so proud to work with you. Onward and upward, FMA Family!

Happy St Patrick's Day! FMA was in the Houston St Patty's Day parade, one of the biggest ones in the country! We had fun all day long. Our entry fees went towards scholarships for First Responders, and that make it even better. We threw mardi gras beads and candy to the tens of thousands of spectators, and put smiles of the faces of countless children. Once again, FMA rocks!

Happy Holidays!

Winter is quickly approaching and predictions warn of a long, wet one. Winter brings all kinds of yucky stuff along with it....including the dreaded flu.

With that in mind, on Wednesday FMA once again provided all employees a free flu shot. FMA contracted with a mobile medical team who came to our offices to administer the shot for everyone that wanted one.

Just another way for FMA to show it cares about its people.

Onward and upward, FMA!

FMA has season tickets to the Astros, Texans and Rockets. The tickets are used for clients and to reward FMA staff. Its been a great year for the local teams...the Rockets went deep into the playoffs, the Astros are in the midst of the pennant race right now, and the Texans are just starting their season. To the 100 or so FMA staff that got tickets so far in 2015, congrats! We love that we can do that for you!

The New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) recently promulgated new debt collection rules that stringently regulate collection efforts within the state. Because the regulation imposes unique requirements, there are still several unresolved questions as to how best practices should be implemented to ensure full compliance with the law.

FMA's General Counsel, Lauren Rosenfeld, recently moderated a discussion session with Joy Feigenbaum, Executive Deputy Superintendent of the NYDFS to clarify ambiguities and discuss challenges associated with the new rules. This important presentation and discussion was held at InsideARM’s third annual Large Market Participant conference.

FMA recognizes open dialogue between industry members and regulators is critical to foster mutual understanding. FMA’s discussion with the NYDFS has allowed FMA to further enhance our compliance practices to best align with the regulatory intent.

What started out real became an big unintended April Fool's gag!

In honor of an amazing March and recent-record performances, the entire company was told there would be free pizza for lunch today. The pizza was indeed ordered yesterday, but the pizza place thought it was an April Fools joke and did not place the order! On no! By the time it all got straightened out, the pizza place sent over a ton of free pizza today...and the actual pizza party will be held tomorrow. Only on April 1! Hahahaha

03/03/2015

The annual FMA party was a huge success and a great time for all. Dinner, casino, dancing, a comedian, ice sculptures, photo booth, cash tornado machine, and even some "celebrity" appearances! Wow - it really was a blast. Already looking forward to next year's party!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

To those who have served in our Nation’s military, to those that are serving, and to those that will someday serve:

Let us remember all the sacrifices made by our military so that we could have a safer life. No amount of appreciation will be sufficient enough to honor them. Let us just pray for them and their families.

On behalf of FMA Alliance and a grateful Nation, we thank you for your service. Have a Happy Veteran's Day.

This month, FMA is participating in the event to try to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
November is “No Shave November” month to raise awareness for Men’s Health issues such as Prostate Cancer.

The American Cancer Society is one of the leaders in non-profit cancer research and philanthropic efforts in the US and impacts a large portion of the population that we also service. It is our honor to support such a prestigious and impactful organization in leading the fight to make everyone’s dream of a Cancer free year a more attainable possibility. Let’s kick it off our fight in in dapper style.

The American Cancer Society wants to use this trend to raise awareness about prostate cancer. The idea of men not shaving their beards is a way to draw attention to the hair that many cancer patients typically lose. Instead of using the money on shaving and grooming, men are encouraged to donate it to cancer research.

Here is how you can participate…

Gentlemen:

You must go the entire month of November without shaving your facial hair. That means no trimming either!

Ladies:

You must pick a male sponsor to support during his run of no shaving.
Choose wisely!

Good luck Gentlemen! It is a breeze once you get past the itchy face stage!

Its that time of year again - and if you've ever had the flu, you know how horrible it can be.

FMA cares about it's staff and yesterday was another example of how its shown. FMA paid for any of its employees who wanted a flu shot! A mobile medical team came to the office and gave over 40 people the shot.

A little pinch on the shoulder sure beats weeks of misery!

14/08/2014

It's Good News Friday!
Saturday Casuals for everyone tomorrow!

We’ve had another exceptional week!
We've welcomed great talent to FMA and have seen a tremendous growth in our business!

Success breeds success. We're so proud to be working with everyone here at FMA! What a winning team!
