Southern Loss Association News

President’s Message

Dear SLA,

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our luncheon a success! We had a packed house as Taylor O’Neill and Scott Balot delivered another excellent presentation on Hail and Wind Damage Assessment: Best Practices for Accurate Claims Evaluation. With spring storms already impacting areas in Georgia and other parts of the Midwest and Eastern U.S., these timely courses couldn’t have come at a better time.

April brings a well-deserved break as we gear up for the 2025 Larry Hart Memorial Spring Golf and Cornhole Outing at Chateau Elan Golf Club on April 24, 2025. Larry Hart played a vital role in the growth of the Southern Loss Association, working alongside others to build it into the organization it is today. This event is a wonderful fundraiser in his memory and a fantastic opportunity for fellowship, capped off with a delicious BBQ dinner after the outing. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped organize and run this event—it wouldn’t be possible without you!

Looking ahead to May, we’re excited to welcome JS Held’s Erin Roberts and Nathan Heinlein for their presentation, Up in Smoke: Navigating Structural Fire Damage, Building Codes, and Insurance Claim Considerations.

We hope everyone is enjoying the spring season and look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Golf and Cornhole Outing!

Sincerely,

Adrian Medley
President
