Two of our Commercial Lines Account Executives have obtained a new designation.  Lonny Lessard and Darren O'Connell have completed the Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS) program.

The CRIS program is a specialized curriculum focusing on the insurance and risk management needs of construction projects and contractors.  

The insurance needs of contractors are quite complex. Thus, the CRIS program was developed in response to concerns expressed by many contractors about the difficulty of determining whether their insurance brokers and other risk advisers had the specialized knowledge necessary to properly design and arrange their insurance programs.

Completing the CRIS curriculum will assure that the broker understands the most important insurance needs of contractors. The program also establishes the individual's commitment to the construction industry with a mandatory continuing education component focusing on construction risk and insurance. When dealing with a holder of the CRIS designation, a contractor will know that this person possesses at least a basic-to-intermediate understanding of construction exposures, insurance, and risk management techniques, and that the person is making an effort to stay on top of insurance industry changes and trends affecting contractors.
