The first 2026 meeting of the Siesta Key Condominium Council will be conducted on Jan. 13, the organization has announced.
It also will be the first of three in-person sessions next year, the Council notes.
The Council represents 100 condominium associations with more than 7,000 households on Siesta Key.
On Jan. 13, a Council newsletter says, Mike Angers, of the Brown and Brown insurance firm in Sarasota, will present his annual update on condominium insurance issues.
The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. at Siesta Key Chapel, which stands at 4615 Gleason Ave., on the north end of the barrier island, the newsletter points out.
