Certain Revelations

My “ah-ha” moment! Barry Zalma's September column “Cert Uncertainty” correlates to a recent epiphany I had about certificates of insurance/endorsements. I've started developing a method to address this “ silent but deadly” issue we have with providing insurance certificates. I've done the research, studied the court judgments and read the blogs about certs and the uncertainty of this costly agency process. Agents are starting to take notice of the legal ramification of improperly produced certificates of insurance. I would like to share my solution with you and ask you to be an advisor to its development. I have two other industry veterans and key experts on this matter advising me currently and I believe your expertise would be invaluable to this project. I'm so excited about it because it's a definite way of thinking outside the “proverbial” box that our industry is so accustomed to doing, yet we can possibly solve this issue for all stakeholders if the right support for this system is galvanized.
