MRA Releases Schedule For Insurance Training Seminars
Published on February 19, 2020
The Marine Recreation Association has scheduled the first in its series of Regional Training Seminars for marina operators and management staff, focused on the importance of verifying and interpreting various insurance coverages that should be required.
This training session will guide attendees through steps to ensure that marinas or boatyards are protected from uninsured or under-insured boaters, vendors and contractors, and will teach how to read and interpret Certificates of Insurance and policy Declaration Pages correctly.
The three-hour course is designed to be interactive and will be led by Jim Oberg, Property Casualty Insurance Agent with Douglas K. Smith Marine Insurance Services Inc., and Shelley Griffin, director of marina operations at The Bay Club Hotel & Marina. Oberg has been in the marine insurance business for seventeen years, and has worked as a shipwright, deckhand and boat delivery hand on both coasts and Mexico. Griffin has managed the premier marina operations at The Bay Club since 2005, and been actively involved in marine industry regulatory, legislative and environmental issues.
Their presentation will explore the different business and ownership structures (sole proprietor, corporation, LLC, etc.) and what type of coverage is required from each to protect marinas or boatyards from unexpected but inevitable events. The course will also touch on the new AB-5 legislation and how it affects insurance coverage based on worker classifications, and the importance of MGL / SRLL Insurance.
