Garcia, Award Winner for a business with less than $2 million in annual gross sales: This full-service insurance agency caters to individuals and businesses of all sizes.

A Cuban native, Ms. Garcia has lived in Florida since 1979 and is an experienced insurance professional. Though Insurance For You, Inc. may be relatively small in size, it possesses the knowledge and resources to represent any client effectively. 
Silvia's community endeavors are legendary. For example. She is a Past President, a Founding Trustee and Founder of the Past Presidents Council at the Palms West Chamber of Commerce. As a matter of fact, it was during her term as Chamber President that she worked with a core leadership group to develop and advocate establishment of the latter two initiatives.
Community involvement with this creative leader does not stop at the Chamber door. Silvia C. Garcia is a graduate of Leadership Palm Beach County, serves on the Board of Directors of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and on the Advisory Council to National City. She serves on too many committees and boards to list here.
When describing herself, the Wellington resident says she is the proud mother of two daughters, Sandra and Suzette and the "doting grandmother of precocious Katarina." In other words, the priorities are in order.
It is illustrative to cite Silvia's stated business and personal goal-"to exemplify the highest standards of business ethics and personal integrity." She continues, "our goal is not only to meet but to exceed your expectations." The result of all this is the development of professional and personal relationships.
