Brokerage is adding NEW MARKETS…

One of our NEW MARKETS is an Admitted Carrier to write your habitational risks as well as products driven risks and larger contractor risks.  In addition, we have a Non-admitted “A” carrier for risks located outside of California.  See a complete list of our most used Brokerage Markets by going to our website or “clicking” here.

Please look to our Brokerage Department for your Primary General Liability, Larger Property Accounts, Inland Marine schedules, Umbrella or Excess, Errors & Omissions Coverage, Directors & Officers Coverage, Employment Practices Liability, Liquor Liability, DIC Coverage, and other hard to place accounts.    More Details….

 Madame President’s Address    From Kathy Schroeder

 

With my favorite holiday just around the corner I thought I’d take this opportunity to list a few of the things I’m thankful for:

·         I’m grateful for the support you our customers have shown us.  We started on May 1st and we are amazed and humbled that you would have faith in us by allowing us to work on your accounts.

·         I’m thankful for the amazing staff we have gathered to work together at Sierra Specialty.  How could I expect such an experienced staff to be willing to work for a brand new company?  AMAZING!

I’m above all thankful to God who makes all things possible.

May you and your family and friends enjoy a peaceful and blessed THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON.         

2005 3rd Quarter Highlights:

 

*           Sierra Specialty delivered four truck loads of canned goods, clothing and other needed items to the Povarello House after the “Incredibles” won the two month long contest over taking the “Producers”.  The Incredibles consisted of all the Assistants and Support Staff while the Producers consisted of all the Underwriters and Brokers. Sierra Specialty donated over 600 canned items for each bind we received during that time.  Thank you to all those who helped support our local charity.  Click here for pictures.
