Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I am a security officer in a residential community, a resident here has made some very untrue accusations about me to the client Association claiming I am "Unprofessional", "Dangerous", "George Zimmerman like", and that I represent a "threat to peace and safety in the community".

Unfounded accusations like this can ruin a security officers professional credibility. Do I have any legal recourse?
