Managing general agent Patricia Sleicher thinks she has the most interesting job in the industry: insuring events of any description and size, in any locale, against weather disruptions.
Sleicher, president of Global Weather Insurance Agency Inc. of East Setauket, N.Y., is no novice to the industry: She has been in the business since 1974, starting her own agency in 2000.
“You get your share of [weather-related] claims, whether it's a TV commercial or a sales promotion [that falls victim to rain]; or a concert, fair or festival. We do any type of event” that inclement weather can impact, Sleicher says.
