President’s Message
Welcome to Surety Claims Institute’s website
This website will help you understand a little about the mission, values, purpose and activities of Surety Claims Institute. For more than 30 years, our organization has provided education, information and resources for its membership, as well as a great platform for networking and relationship-building.
We hold an annual meeting for our members in June of each year. Diligent effort is made to ensure that our programs are pre-qualified and certified for CLE and CE accreditation. We are extremely proud of our record of having provided high-caliber educational programs throughout our history that are second to none. Our faculty, authors and speakers are among the leaders in our claim and legal industries.
While the primary focus of our annual meeting is on education and a sharing of information, we encourage our members to include their families in their meeting plans. In fact, we typically choose meeting sites that will be the most attractive for family participation, and the timing of the meeting is deliberately aimed at the weeks following the end of the typical school year. In addition to providing a challenging, informative educational program, we do our best to cater to the social needs of our group by providing opportunities for such activities as golf and tennis and for some very good food.
Surety Claims Institute publishes a great newsletter, providing an opportunity for members to keep current throughout the year on developments in the fidelity and surety claims and legal industries. If you are affiliated with a fidelity or surety company and are not yet a member of Surety Claims Institute, please enjoy browsing this site to acquaint yourself with the benefits of membership. And, please feel free to contact us for information about upcoming meetings.
