We thank them for taking the time to address the SCA. In May, we are pleased to announce speaker Geoffrey F. Margolis, California DOI Deputy Commissioner. His duties as the Deputy Commissioner & Special Counsel for the California Department of Insurance reporting directly to Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones should prove to be very informative.

Ron tells us that his first introduction to the claims process was in 1969 as an all lines adjuster with Auto Club of Southern Calif in Redlands, CA. He had recently returned from serving in the Navy in Viet Nam when he was introduced to ACSC members at a Junior Chamber of Commerce meeting. His hobby of auto mechanics and rebuilding was the kind of touch the company was seeking in an all lines adjuster. A family move brought him to Sacramento in late 1972 where he found work with The Grange as a Teloss adjuster. He Electrical Contractor Property Claims Specialist Expert Witness TUCKNOTT ELECTRIC COMPANY Serving All of Northern California Since 1972 (925) Licensed. Bonded. Insured 6850 Regional Street Ste 110 Dublin, CA May 2011 Sacramento Claims Association News Network

7 joined and participated in the local Sacramento Claims Association while in that position. The lure of self-employment took Ron to pursue and obtain a Calif Private Investigator s License. For the next four years, he operated this business while going to Lincoln University Law School at night. Through the years, he has kept that license current while practicing law. He is one of the few lawyers who earned a LLB rather than a JD as his undergraduate degree was just an AA degree. Ron opted to immediately open a solo plaintiff s personal injury practice. He has maintained that independent business approach even as he has moved into the less stressful life of Alternative Dispute Resolution. The focus in his law practice was automobile injury law, but he was also involved in a wide array of issues, including: insurance coverage; products liability; premises liability; medical negligence; and property and construction damage actions. Having learned the art of evaluation and negotiation from his experience as an adjuster, going to trial was an infrequent event. He believes that going to trial results from failure in communication. The ADR process done properly creates the communication that results in settlements. Ron is a volunteer Pro Tem judge in Sacramento and Placer Counties, an ADR panel member of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, Sutter and San Joaquin Counties. Some of these panel memberships exceed 10 years. In 2009, he earned a certificate from the Pepperdine School of Law, Straus Institute of Dispute Resolution. The Sacramento Valley, from Modesto to Redding, is the venue for his services. When away from the office, you will find Ron spending time with Karen, his wife of 32 years; under a car; out on a lake; in the mountains or valleys; or playing and working with his children and grandchildren. His present projects include a 1928 Model A pickup, 1957 Chev 210 and a 1974 Bronco. He asks that we please excuse the occasional cuts and grease-blackened hands.

10 Association News Network Personality Profile: Laura O Rourke Living life by example, open-minded and with passion for what matters Laura O Rourke has a lilting Irish name that easily rolls off the tongue. I m not even Irish. She exclaims, I married the name and share it with my 16 year old daughter, Kylie. Laura s mention of her offspring softens her face with pride. She is a really good kid, she has a 4.4 GPA (I know!) and is in the band at school and on the Band Council. Since she just started driving it makes it a little less worrisome that she is such a great girl and so responsible. After graduation from Ohio State University near her birthplace in Toledo, Ohio, Laura landed a position with Erie Insurance as a comprehensive claims facilitator for first party claims; but only for a year, as adventure came calling and the neophyte claims adjuster quit her job to take a position in the Sequoia National Park for the summer. She worked as a restaurant manager in that idyllic setting and lived in a rustic cabin in a setting far different from her home state. Laura had worked in restaurants while attending college so the work wasn t unfamiliar, but the terrain surely was. The experiences of that summer stayed with her and shaped her future. She went to work for Infinity Insurance as an auto adjuster and married, gaining the lilting name and a new address; this time Utah. Laura worked for six years for Liberty Mutual as an inside adjuster I ve heard adjusters say that the meetings can feel like a shark tank, but my experience is that most service providers just want to introduce themselves. and then GuideOne for three years in the same position before transferring to California.

Pelham was joined by fellow principals of the firm: Peter Sandlin, SE and Ian Williams, SE. The Barrish Pelham experts were on-hand to discuss their involvement in the restoration of the Roseville Galleria Mall, following the devastating explosion and fire last Autumn. Mr. Williams discussed the important of setting up a project for success from the start. The main goal, he stated, is to avoid the court room... With the case of the mall fire, it was important Anyone can call themselves an engineer, began Steven Pelham, SE, addressing the April 14, 2011 luncheon gathering of the Sacramento Claims Association. The professional designation is what defines an engineer as official. Giving clarity to the qualifications involved, Mr. Pelham, principal in the engineering firm Barrish Pelham & Associates, Inc., went on to explain that a civil engineer is like a general practitioner. A structural engineer, he went on to explain, is a specialist requiring licensing every two years.

In fact, he stated, they started letting people back in the mall just seven days after the fire. One month later 40 stores were reopened, which happened to also be Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving. The intent is to have the mall completely re-opened on the one-year anniversary of the fire, he said. continued page 15 Hillary Krek, of El Dorado Restoration, gave a status report update on behalf of Golf Chair Barbara Prosch regarding the upcoming SCA Golf Tournament.

Category three - unsalvageable - is what we saw. He went on to explain that sometimes even places that don t look damaged need to be tested. Beyond this particular fire, the team took the time to broaden the subject matter to general testing - Assessment & Reconstruction - discussing physical effects on various building materials. Peter Sandlin, SE, took the lead on this portion of the program. When a roof structure needs to be removed/replaced, all walls must first be stabilized, he explained. Mr. Sandlin also discussed the need for compression testing on the foundation of a burned building to determine to what extent it may or may not be salvageable. Sandlin went on to cover a wide array of engineering tools and various processes used in a variety of applications.

16 AssnNewsNetwork Personality Profile: Laura O Rourke continued from page 10 claims. While she was okay with working at an inside desk, she likes the experience of getting face to face with the claimants and loves working for GuideOne. I have a varied mix of claims on my desk she explains so it is never boring. When I was working with Workers Comp. files, some cases were older than I was and were never going to end until the person expired. Now the customer s expectations are much higher than in the past, but there is instant gratification in helping people which keep me going. I love the family atmosphere of the company. The CEO comes by to say hello and knows everyone s name and there are regular conference calls with the employees. Laura loves to travel and often the destination revolves around music - her avowed passion. She loves the music of G. Love and Special Sauce - a blues-alternative hip-hop band - but appreciates all kinds of music and from all eras. I ve started taking my daughter to concerts so that she can get a sense of the variety and history of music available here. We ve gone to The Fillmore Auditorium and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco, among others, so we have a basis for sharing all types of music. She attends the Sacramento Claims Association luncheons whenever possible I feel it is a great way to connect with people in the insurance industry, she says. It affords a broader knowledge of services available so I have a sense of whom I can turn to if I encounter a situation I ve not had to deal with previously. I ve heard adjusters say that the meetings can feel like a shark tank, but my experience is that most service providers just want to introduce themselves. I don t think that an adjuster is doing their policyholders a favor by sitting in their office without knowing what is available to assist them. I cannot always attend but I appreciate the connection when it is possible. It s the same thing with the Claims Conference of Northern California. I am shocked that so many adjusters are unaware of the conference and the training it provides which, most of the time, is lacking in their workplace. We are fortunate to have this resource and more adjusters should be taking advantage of it. Laura O Rourke clearly lives the life she loves, and carries that passion with her throughout all her adventures.

17 News from the DOI Insurance Commissioner Jones Applauds Passage of AB 52 by Assembly Health Committee Bill would give Commissioner authority to reject excessive health care premiums Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced April 27, 2011 that the Assembly Health Committee has passed AB 52, authored by Assembly Member Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), by a vote of 12 to 7. The bill would protect consumers and businesses by giving the Insurance Commissioner the power to reject excessive health insurance rate increases. On a regular basis, health insurers announce significant premium increases that far surpass the rate of medical inflation. It has become commonplace for policyholders to experience multiple rate increases over the course of a given year, Commissioner Jones said. Since I took office, Californians have made it exceedingly clear that they want me to reject excessive rate increases, but I do not have this authority as Insurance Commissioner - AB 52 can change this. That is why I have partnered with Assembly Member Feuer to do all that we can to ensure AB 52 becomes law. As a member of the Assembly, I introduced this legislation three times and the need for it has only grown, as health insurance continues to become unaffordable for more and more Californians. Today the Assembly Health Committee recognized that Californians should not have to depend on the whim of an insurance company to halt a major rate increase, said the bill s author, Assembly Member Feuer. This was a crucial first step toward getting AB 52 signed into law, but until that happens, California families will continue to live in fear that they are just one rate hike away from no longer being able to afford health insurance. Introduced in December 2010, AB 52 would require health plans Support Your Local Claims Association Your Sponsorship in the Association News Network Goes a long way toward keeping the monthly newsletter publication FREE to the organization. Call or info@associationnewsnetwork.com and insurers to seek approval from state regulators prior to raising health care premiums, copayments, or deductibles. The bill will now head to the Assembly Appropriations committee and upon passage will face a vote on the Assembly Floor. Jones Announces Sentencing of Insurance Agent for Fraud Agent misappropriated $400,000 in premiums for personal use Insurance Commissioner Jones May 2, 2011 announced that Albert Ricardo Prince, 54, of Bakersfield was sentenced to one year in jail for each of three felony counts of fraud he was charged with in Kern County Superior Court. Prince was immediately remanded to the Kern County Sheriff where his sentence has begun, and where his remaining time will be served concurrently in the Kern County Jail. Prince was also sentenced to three years felony probation and ordered to make restitution to 21 of his victims in an amount to be determined by the probation department. This agent s egregious behavior put his clients at great financial risk, said Commissioner Jones. His deceit and disregard for his policyholders could have led to tragic results. Prince s conviction and sentencing resulted from an investigation conducted by the California Department of Insurance (CDI), Investigation Division, Valencia Regional Office. According to investigators, between March 1, 2006 and September 30, 2009, as the owner of Prince Insurance Agency, Prince accepted over $400, continued page 23 El Dorado Restoration Disaster Repair & Construction Your Professionals 24/ barbarap@eldoradorestoration.com Fax Contractor License # PO Box 3070 Diamond Springs, CA May 2011 Sacramento Claims Association News Network 17

18 People on the Move continued from page 8 our ongoing growth and advancement in the industry. I m very excited to join the team at SERVPRO of Auburn / Rocklin, said Simpson.

CCNC ANNOUNCES OPENING OF ONLINE STORE FOR SEPTEMBER CONFERENCE PURCHASES Preparations are well under-way for the 18th annual Claims Conference of Northern California, being held September 8-9, 2011 back at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Sacramento. The popular two-day conference and tradeshow will feature continuing education credits from both the California Department of Insurance for adjusters and agents, as well as from Texas for the first time this year. Also a first for CCNC is a new high-tech advancement with the organization s web site. CCNC Exhibitor Committee Co-Chair (and EBCA rep), Lisa Winn, explains the motivation for upgrading the web site. We wanted to give our exhibitors the opportunity to actually choose their booth space for the tradeshow this year, she says. Deciding where each exhibitor will be each year is an arduous task, at best. The new upgraded site allows each exhibiting company the ability to choose which booth space they want from a floorplan map of the exhibit hall on the site. As each booth is purchased, the name of the exhibiting company dynamically appears in their booth spot in real-time. Not only are our exhibitors able to choose their spot, but they also are able to see who else has already purchased their booths, and where they are. Attaining this dynamic shift in the site required a much more robust back-end server, including a complete backstage database, fully-functioning shopping cart/store-front, and secure check-out. Sponsors and attendees will benefit from this new upgrade, as well. As of May 4, 2011, the complete storefront is now open to the community at large. The 2011 CCNC Sponsorship committee, led by Co-Chairs Tammy Sanders and Ruth Griffith (representing Sacramento Claims Association), have put together some new options and reworked some of the old sponsorship levels for stronger benefit and recognition. The popularity of the Casino Night event, held Thursday evening, September 8th, led our committee to focus some effective and fun sponsorships there, which will enhance the event while giving our sponsors what we hope will be an even better bang for their buck, Tammy explains. Those planning to attend the two-day conference can take advantage of Early-Bird Registration rates for a limited time, as well. Created by the joint efforts of eight (8) local/regional claims associations, the Claims Conference of Northern California, Inc. sets a standard for affordable continuing education for insurance claims adjusters, supervisors and manager, as well as insurance agents and brokers, and even defense attorneys. Education Chair, Barbara Hall (representing Mid-Valley Claims Association) is leading a team that has put together a diverse multitrack program, including a liability claims track, a property claims track, and a third more general track. In addition, the committee has put together a mock-trial for the Friday session.
