Inland Marine Insurance: Why it Stands Out
Inland marine insurance is a unique line of coverage in that it addresses disparate "classes" of risk, most of them quite different from each other.
This session will review the origins and evolution of inland marine coverage, then describe how it has become one of the most consistently profitable lines of insurance for producers and carriers willing to invest in the expertise required to effectively write coverage and implement loss control in the various classes.
Join us as Joe Harrington helps us to understand one of those lines of business that we deal with, but we don't always get it.
Commercial Property Master Class - COPE (Construction)
Join us for the first session in our new Commercial Property Master Class, COPE (Construction).
In this session, we will make an in-depth examination of the construction of commercial buildings. We will look at how the walls are constructed and at different roofing systems and how these go into classifying a building according to its resistance to fire and wind.
Actual Cash Value: How to Define an Undefined Term
Everyone in insurance knows about actual cash value, right? The term is all over the place and we all think we know what it means, but what does it really mean in practice today? Join us as Crystal Uebelher brings this session and helps us to question what we know and answer the question, what is actual cash value, really?
Commercial Property Master Class - COPE - (Occupancy)
Join us for the second session in our new Commercial Property Master Class, COPE (Occupancy).

Commercial Property Master Class - COPE - (Protection & Exposure)
Join us for the third session in our new Commercial Property Master Class, COPE (Protection & Exposure).
In this session, we will make an in-depth examination of the ways a commercial building can be protected from fire, both from internal building characteristics and external community characteristics.We will also discover why we care what buildings are nearby the insured building and what's going on in those nearby buildings.
Commercial Property Master Class - Commercial Property Policies, Policy Structure
Which policy does an office building need?
Does a Condo Association policy need different policies if its a residential condo, or an office condo?
What about Business Income? Is that a different policy, or is it part of another policy?
Join us in the fourth session of our Commercial Property Master class as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight introduces us to the different commercial property policies available, when you might need them, and how they're put together.
Commercial Property Master Class - Covered Property and Property not Covered
When the insured has a commercial property policy, one of the biggest question, is what is actually covered?
Is all of the property that they might own covered?
How do we know what is covered and what isn't?
Is there a way to change what property is covered and what isn't covered?
Commercial Property Master Class - Additional Coverages, Coverage Extensions, and Optional Coverages
The ISO Commercial Property Policy includes coverages that are not the main coverages but are in some ways just as important as building and business personal property.
This session walks through those other important coverages, such as debris removal, outdoor property, and replacement cost valuation.
Commercial Property Master Class - Causes of Loss Forms, Exclusions
One of the first questions that must be addressed in the event of a property loss is what caused the loss?
After the cause of loss is determined, the next question is whether that cause of loss is a covered cause of loss.
In this session, we will dive into commercial property causes of loss forms to discover the difference between a covered cause of loss and an excluded cause of loss and find ways to change them.
Commercial Property Master Class - Selected Endorsements
We know that the ISO Commercial Property Policy includes an exclusion for ordinance or law. Did you also know that there is an endorsement designed to provide the coverage to fill this exclusion? Did you also know that you can endorse flood as a covered cause of loss onto the commercial property policy? Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight helps us with these and other endorsements.
