CAIIA Annual Convention a resounding success!
John Ratto, Reliant Claim Service, was sworn in by his daughter as the 2019-20 CAIIA President at the beautiful Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in Sacramento. Thank you to John and his wife, Kay, for putting together a great convention at a wonderful location adjacent to the Sacramento Kings stadium and steps from the State Capitol and the Department of Insurance. CAIIA member spouses and guests were treated to a tour of the famous Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park in Sacramento.
Long time CAIIA member, Sterrett Harper of Harper Claims Service, was honored with the CAIIA Lifetime Achievement Award. This prestigious award has only been bestowed upon 3 previous members who were paramount in the development and promotion of the CAIIA. Previous honorees included Bill Suter, Gene Rigs and Don Ferguson.
Sterrett Harper’s previous roles in the CAIIA include being the 2001-2002 President, Executive Director of the CAIIA, Board of Director, sat on multiple Committees, and creator of the CAIIA Status Report newsletter for over 20 years.
