President’s Message

As we head into July, it’s clear we’re welcoming more than just summer heat—we’re also preparing to celebrate one of the most exciting holidays of the year: the 4th of July. For many of us, this day symbolizes freedom, liberty, and the birth of our republic. It’s also a time to reflect on the many sacrifices made to secure these rights and freedoms.

I know many are planning to attend the biggest and best fireworks displays with family and friends. However you choose to celebrate, I hope you all have a fun and safe Independence Day!

On the work front, many of us are also preparing for hurricane season. That means making sure all our licenses are up to date along with CE requirements and reviewing each state’s Fair Claims Practices laws. I recently reviewed several of these laws and was reminded just how unique each state’s wording and requirements can be. For those of us handling claims across multiple states, staying informed and compliant is absolutely essential.

A big thank-you to last month’s presenter, Nicholas Mahoney, for his insightful presentation on the role of smart home technology in investigations. He gave us valuable tools and ideas to add to our inspections and questioning process—definitely something to keep in mind moving forward.

This month, we’re excited to welcome Terry Sutton from Stephens Engineering, who will present on Servicing Clients. Terry also shared a helpful article ahead of time that’s worth reading before the luncheon. Click here to read the article.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the luncheon on July 10, 2025!

Remember to sign up for the annual CE seminar. Seats are filling up!

Sincerely,
Adrian Medley
President
