SUMAssure Election

During the SUMA convention the SUMAssure AGM was held. During the course of the meeting I was elected to be a Director of the municipally owned insurance reciprocal. My responsibilities are two-fold:
  • run the company with policy decision and oversee their implementation, and
  • protect the interests of the subscribers.
Briefly:
  • SUMAssure is owned by the subscribers.
  • SUMAssure is a model which exists in both Alberta and Manitoba, and in many other jurisdictions. Lawyers, hotel operators, libraries and school boards across the nation use this model.
  • SUMAssure designs and delivers a risk management product that municipalities need. Municipalities are complex operations and the insurance coverage they need can now be tailored to suit them.
Here is some more information regarding SUMAssure:

Mission: We provide ownership and protection for urban governments and related entities throughout the province by offering municipal insurance, risk management and premium stability.
