PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Robert Mackoul, CLU INSTALLATION DINNER JUNE 5TH AT THE FOXHOLLOW

HEARD AROUND TOWN

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Robert E. Mackoul, CLU President

TriCounty has had some produc3ve mee3ngs this year with more on the way… March 25, our annual legisla3ve day in Albany known as “L-‐Day”, produced immediate results. For the past few years the TriCounty board and some of our members have been talking to legislators about the importance of having a unified defini3on on what cons3tuted a hurricane, thereby triggering the hurricane deduc3ble in a homeowners policy. Our efforts were based upon the fact that each insurance company has their own policy defini3on which is very oKen different from carrier to carrier. This has put a tremendous burden on agents and brokers when explaining coverage to prospects and clients and, par3cularly aKer a windstorm loss, when disgruntled clients ask why their coverage wasn’t as good as their neighbors. I am proud that Harvey Weisenberg,(D) State Assemblyman from Long Beach, and represen3ng a number of surrounding areas in Nassau County, introduced legisla3on that will cure this issue and put all carriers on an even keel using the same criteria to trigger a hurricane deduc3ble. This is one instance where IIABNY, TriCounty, and our sister organiza3ons have made a huge difference. We con3nue to push this maXer and hopeful that it will pass in the NY State Senate and become law, thereby ending a poten3al far-‐reaching problem for every homeowner, insurance agency, and insurance carrier in the New York Metro Area and Long Island. (con%nued)

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CON’T

Kudos to Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg for taking our hard-‐fought eﬀort to the law makers! Another important legisla3ve event, this one in April, was the Na3onal Legisla3ve Conference in DC where a con3ngency of 5 TriCounty members spent 2 days listening, learning and talking with our na3onal legislators on behalf of our members. COMING SOON………. • On May 15th Jim SuXon, will be installed as the new IIABNY Chair of the Board on at the HyaX Place East End (at the aquarium), in Riverhead. Jim is a past president of Suﬀolk County IIAA, has moved up the chairs with our state Big I, and has been one of the true greats in our industry for many years working for all of us agents on Long Island and beyond. I hope many of you will join us to support Jim that evening. Register at www.IIABNY.org • Our Installa3on Dinner will be held on June 5th at the Fox Hollow in Woodbury, New York. Frank Elorza was elected as the new TriCounty president on April 23 and we’ve added two enthusias3c directors.

Interboro Celebrates 100 Years

Wow, 100 years of rapid transformation and Interboro's still going full steam

ahead to keep up with the changes and challenges that the world continues to hand us.

Since 1914, Interboro Insurance Company has been committed to protecting

insureds and assuring peace of mind for our local communities. Through our Brokers specialized expertise, the company has ensured that all policyholders can focus on growing and adapting to the ever changing demands of society.

Interboro's roots began with the needs of New York City brewing companies.

Those needs transitioned from the liabilities associated with the breweries delivery operations to a mutual fund pooling expenses to protect their assets. As prohibition shut down their operations in 1919, The Brewers' Mutual Indemnity Company became Interboro Mutual Indemnity Insurance Company. To change the direction of the company, dedicated board members started writing Commercial Automobile Insurance. Soon personal cars became a reality for many, so to keep up with the trend, the company quickly began writing Personal Automobile Insurance as well. Suburbia boomed in the 1950's and again Interboro kept up with the needs of the community by adding Homeowners' Insurance to their repertoire of products. In addition, Interboro also oﬀered Workers' Compensation Coverage to maintain their commercial business ties from the past.

Although Interboro was successful with writing policies directly for their

insureds, they recognized the benefits that a broker could provide through personalized service and thereby partnered up with Independent Brokers. As the

(con%nued)

Interboro Celebrates 100 Years conâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t world evolved, insurance needs became more complex and the company relied even more heavily on their broker partners to analyze and assess the needs of each client.

Nowadays, insureds are forced to think about such things as what they'd do if

an electrical problem caused their new washing machine to break down, if their hot water heater suddenly malfunctioned pumping water all over the house, or if someone stole their identity and committed credit card fraud. The needs of 100 years ago are a world apart from those of the present time and they will continue to become increasingly complex and diverse.

Because of Interboro's experience throughout a rapid era of development, the

company is well equipped to tackle the issues of today and tomorrow. By listening and responding to trends, the company is prepared to tackle the potential coverage challenges of the future. The best result of this evolution in policy-writing structure is that insureds can convey their individual needs and develop long-standing, valuable relationships with Interboro's Brokers in order to ensure their financial protection to avoid setbacks allowing them to flourish in their daily lives.

The future is uncertain, but as Interboro celebrates 100 years of continuity and

strength, it will most certainly grow and evolve as needed as the years unfold. Its central focus is still protecting the community, along with whatever its members deem most valuable, with the goal of providing the best service and security in this stormy, ever-changing world.

Remember that lousy second week of January

this winter? It is estimated that $1.4 billion in insured losses were paid when the central and eastern states dealt with the coldest temperatures in two decades.

Insurance agents need to make themselves

more valuable. More than two-thirds of consumers polled say would consider buying home, auto and even life insurance from parties other than insurers, according to Accenture’s “Customer-Driven Innovation Survey.” 23% said they are also open to purchasing from Google or Amazon.

Insurance fraud aﬀects more than your policy premiums. Seven Detroit

firefighters were seriously injured when an oﬃce building engulfed in a gasolinefueled fire collapsed on them. One was paralyzed and several had crushed bones. The man who set the fire did so for a very “simple” reason – the insurance money. Half of property-casualty companies report that between 11 cents and 30 cents of each insurance premium dollar is lost to “soft” fraud alone. The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud estimates that fraud for all types of insurance costs $80 billion annually, making it the second-largest economic crime after tax evasion.

Cuomo Says No to Scaffold Law Changes this Year by Peter Mantius from Workcompcentral New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he won’t push for changes in the scaffold law this year, given its second-tier ranking on the business community’s legislative agenda and the political clout of the law’s supporters, especially the trial bar. Speaking to the editorial board of Crain’s New York last week, the governor said the scaffold law was one of the “infuriating” things about doing business in the state, but he said amending it was not a top priority for him because it wasn’t a top priority for business interests. “Even if you asked businesses writ large [to] prioritize the problems,” Cuomo told Crain’s, “they would have started: personal income tax, corporate tax, estate tax, property tax ... they would have gone right down the list. “And I’m going right down the list. Now they would say scaffold, but they would say scaffold what? No. 8? 12?” But Tom Stebbins, who has led one of the most active anti-scaffold law campaigns in years, said Cuomo was seriously underestimating the business community’s position. He said business owners detest the 128-year-old statute that makes contractors and property owners 100% liable for injuries suffered by workers as a result of a fall. “He’s throwing in the towel before he even gets in the ring,” said Stebbins, executive director of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance. “This is unquestionably a top priority of business,” Stebbins added. “This state is not open for business if he lets the trial lawyers bar the door.” Matthew Guilbault, director of government and industry affairs for the Professional Insurance Agents of New York, said he was perplexed by Cuomo’s statements. “Admitting the trial lawyers are stronger than the governor? Really? Certainly if the governor of New York really wanted it, it could happen,” Guilbault said. Sections 240 and 241 of the state Labor Law come under attack from business groups every year. This year, as in the past, opponents have backed legislation to split liability if the injured worker contributed to the accident, either by ignoring safety procedures or by being intoxicated.

Cuomo Says No to Scaffold Law Changes this Year con’t The Business Council of New York ranked winning such an amendment as one of its top three priorities this year, Ken Pokalsky, vice president of government affairs, told Crain’s. Stebbins has taken a lead role in rallying support for scaffold law changes this year. He has underscored the costs to businesses and municipalities of holding on to such a strict liability standard. Virtually all other states have since opted for a comparative negligence standard, moderating insurance costs, he argues. Stebbins said the scaffold law adds hundreds of millions of dollars in extra insurance costs to school construction projects annually. And the insurance costs for the Tappan Zee Bridge repair project will be $200 million more than they would be if the same project were undertaken in a neighboring state, he claims. Opponents of the scaffold law, particularly Stebbins, have touted a recent academic study from the State University of New York’s Rockefeller Institute of Government. It calculated that the scaffold law leads to 677 additional workplace accidents a year and costs the state’s public and private sectors some $3 billion a year. In a press release in February, Stebbins said that with the study in hand, “reform advocates look for positive traction in the Legislature this year.” Supporters of the scaffold law, including the Center for Popular Democracy, and the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health immediately called the report “junk” and said it was fundamentally biased. And on Monday, the Rockefeller Institute itself backed away from the study, citing its industry funding and its “really big weakness” in analysis, according to a report in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The institute’s director, Thomas L. Gais, said he doesn’t consider the report an official product of the institute, according to the Chronicle. Gais denied the report was biased in favor of the Stebbins’ Lawsuit Reform Alliance, but he said it suffered from a “quality-control issue.” The lead author, Michael R.

Cuomo Says No to Scaffold Law Changes this Year con’t Hattery, a relatively new institute researcher, delivered it to the Lawsuit Reform Alliance without thorough review by the institute, the Chronicle reported. Another major problem, according to Gais, is a section that uses flawed statistical analysis to make “counterintuitive” arguments that the worker-safety law makes workers less safe. That section of the report was written by R. Richard Geddes, an associate professor of policy analysis and management at Cornell University. Two other labor professors at Cornell have questioned Geddes’ analysis. Geddes emotionally denounced the criticism in an interview with the Chronicle, saying the work was not biased by its funding source and was based on state-of-theart analysis. “I find that offensive ... that they said my work is biased, after we spent hours and hours collecting the best data we could find,” Geddes told the Chronicle. The report compares injury rates for workers in New York and Illinois, which repealed a similar law in 1995. Geddes found that both accident rates and costs declined in Illinois after the Illinois law was changed. Charlotte Obernauer, executive director of NYCOSH, said the Rockefeller Institute report was part of a misinformation campaign by opponents of the scaffold law. “The scaffold is safe for now,” Obernauer said in the wake of Cuomo’s remarks. “But I think we’re going to be fighting this again next year.” Stebbins said it was his coalition that needed to “expose the lies” of scaffold law supporters. Guilbault of PIANY said he’s not even sure it’s too late to amend the scaffold law this year, despite Cuomo’s statements to Crain’s. “I’m not ready to give up yet,” Guilbault said. “Things often turn around. The odds are against us, but I’m not ready to give up.”

Meeting Recap by Alex Giraldo

On Thursday March 13th Tri-County members were treated to a breath of

fresh air. Granted , it was a brisk one but extremely refreshing. Christopher Paradiso ,owner of Paradiso Insurance and 2011 Rough Notes Community service award from Staﬀord CT, gave us an insight into how creating a social media strategy in 2014 can pay major dividends instantly. The charismatic and very knowledgeable Paradiso took an approach many of us have not seen before. Im sure we have all attended the social media meetings and the “get on board..” rallies about the internet and how, if you don’t do this now, you will miss the train and lose a lot of ground in the race for new business. His take was mixing this very impersonal tool called the social media and making it, well , Social…What a crazy idea…Social media is quite possibly one of the most unsocial things that exist today , yet everyone is drawn to it. So how do we leverage this incredible tool without losing who we are along the way?

Christopher mentioned so many things that you can do today to better your

presence on the internet. The need to have a website with original content along with brand and identity resonated with me the most. He went deep into community involvement and used his own agency’s website www.paradisoinsurance.com as an example of how nicely this can be done. Paradiso Insurance is personal and the staﬀ is very much marketed throughout the page. Family and patriotism are the 2 big identifiers you will take from visiting the website. He mentioned a strong need for a website to have a call to action. Originality and rich content drive your website’s SEO along with Facebook, Instagram , Twitter , Linkedin, Pinterest etc…. According to Christopher a blog needs to be present and it needs to be updated

Meeting Recap con’t constantly. The content can be 1/3 your own original content and 2/3 shared content from other sources. Christopher introduced some very exciting websites such as www.anamoto.com which is a website that helps you create videos so you can post on your youtube channel.

So how exactly can all this lead to ROI? The eﬀort is the biggest investment

and the return is substantial. Fortunately, being present in the social media world will not cost you hundreds of thousands but it will require consistency and focus. Christopher left us with many great new-found tools and ideas but he also left us an incredibly great resource…Himself…. He urged anyone to please contact him and pick his brain at any time… His energy and go-getter attitude was a big hit with the agents that attended the session and we hope that everyone takes him up on his offer…His personal website is www.paradisopresents.net I recommend you visit it because all it takes is a little effort…And THAT is the most important part… effort…

From the Speaker

The program centered on the importance

of social media marketing. One of the first key factors Chris talked about was digital marketing and its role inside your agency. He said the following:

One key factor to digital marketing is to

make sure that you have your personal agency’s brand attached to it. Another key factor is being able to have your phone number prominently displayed in large letters to make it easy for folks to contact you. Digital marketing can play a key role in new business and also the retention of your existing business. It's important to understand that in today's world we all get so many emails we want to make sure we’re not spamming our prospects or our clients. We need to digitally email when everyone else is not, such as Flag Day or Veterans Day. These are great times to reach out and touch the community. Another part of social media is a mobile marketing app. ( I say it's another part of social media because social media is all about communication and a mobile marketing app is another way that we agents can keep in contact and communicate with clients.) The importance of a mobile marketing app is growing on a daily basis because the younger generation wants to have the ability to have that app on their phone with such things as an insurance card, their agent's contact information, the ability to report a claim oﬀ of the app and capability to pay their insurance bill.

From the Speaker con’t

I personally feel an app is not just good enough - it needs to be a ‘mobile

marketing app’ which means it has to have the ability to have a dashboard and give you, the agent, the ability to communicate with each and every person who has downloaded your agency. That communication is key because it gives us the ability to reach out and touch each and every one of our clients on a very personal level.

Another topic I discussed this evening was the importance of having a social

media strategy that has a balanced attack. What I mean by ‘balance’ is the ability to be very good in many diﬀerent social media avenues rather than being great in a couple of them.

We need to be utilizing Facebook, agency Facebook and page, Google

+,Vine, twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, linkedIn them and spotify. If we choose not to utilize all of the social avenues we will be ignoring many prospects and/or clients that may be in one of those social avenues. The key factor is balance, balance and more balance!

With all this being said, my last point was that it is a necessity that your

agency hire a social media engineer and or marketing person that is dedicated to marketing your agency to the public. It is virtually impossible to be able to handle all of the social avenues, mobile marketing app and of course the traditional avenues of marketing without a dedicated individual from within your agency.

Optional Certificate of Liability Insurance Addendum Coming to NY 6/1/14

ACORD has developed an optional certificate of liability addendum that will

be available in June for use in connection with New York construction projects. The addendum is the result of a collaboration between construction and insurance organizations to supplement the information on the standard ACORD 25 certificate of liability insurance. Â

The demand for more information on New York contractors' insurance arises

out of the strict liability standard imposed in sections 240-241 of the New York State Labor Laws, which has resulted in a constriction of the insurance market for New York contractors. Those insurers who are still active in this market frequently include a host of additional exclusions collectively referred to as "240 exclusions." Many contractors have had to turn to the surplus lines market for coverage, where policy language is not regulated and varies widely across forms. Â

The ACORD 855 New York Construction Certificate of Liability Insurance

Addendum requires the issuing agent or broker to clarify 13 specific aspects of a contractor's coverage, including the scope of additional insured coverage and contractual liability coverage. The agent or broker must stipulate whether the policy contains the specified provision and, where the answer indicates an unfavorable coverage position, whether this is the only option available from the insurer in question.

While most agents and brokers resist attempts to require them to "interpret"

coverage, the addendum includes a disclaimer similar to that in other ACORD certificates regarding reliance on the information provided in the certificate. (Are we as agents really comfortable with the ACORD disclaimer?) We are told from an agent's standpoint it is a vast improvement over the growing number of

Optional Certificate of Liability Insurance Addendum Coming to NY 6/1/14 con’t nonstandard certificate forms that many agents in New York were being asked to complete "attesting to" a contractor's coverage, but I ask you is that really true?

Without legislation that requires the use of this new Contractors ACORD

form, it will remain an “optional form” that contractors may or may not require. In either case is the agent really going to want to complete this new ACORD form whether required or not. Personally I see this as a major E&O problem. IIABNY continues to work on a satisfactory solution to the certificates problem, including the recent introduction of legislation (S.6545) sponsored by Senate Insurance Committee chair Jim Seward. I have attached the Draft of ACORD 855 “NY Construction-Certificate of Liability Insurance for your review and thoughts. Nothing getting easier!
