An excellent time was had by all those in attendance at the CRA’s Greater LA and Orange County territories meeting, which was held at Alliance North America's Cypress location as part of a joint meeting with the American Rental Association of California.

 

Fine Mexican food was enjoyed by over 100 attendees as our members networked and socialized at the CRA’s first territory meeting of 2022. Cypress police officers provided an informative discussion on cxonsumer fraud, identity theft and burglary protection.

 

The California Young Rental Professional group was kept busy at their booth, which was kindly operated by volunteers Amanda Dickey and Ashley Fischer, and debuted their new trivia game (a work in progress). Seeing participation from all aspects of the rental industry coming together to network, share ideas and better one another is inspiring for the CYRP! We look forward to the next meeting.

As a result of COVID-19, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) — the workers' comp rate-making organization used by two thirds of the states — has broadened its definition of catastrophes.

 

NCCI’s definition of a catastrophe, or “cat,” now includes any event — regardless of the specific peril — exceeding $50 million in aggregate workers' comp losses. To prepare for these events, the NCCI has also built a catastrophe risk factor, or “cat provision,” into their workers' comp rates. The following summary of how NCCI is preparing for future catastrophic losses is adapted from a presentation by Katherine Williamson, data science director for the NCCI. 

 

Jim Van Beek will be returning to MBW after 15 years and will be stepping into the COO role.

 

Since his time at MBW, Van Beek has enjoyed a successful and impressive career at Saelens Corp. In 2007, he took on the role of sales manager and was promoted to director of sales & quality in 2009. In 2013, he was promoted to vice president and COO.

 

During his time at Saelens Corp, the organization grew to 165 employees and added a second location. They aquired ISO-IATF certification and became known for their innovative development of automated manufacturing solutions. Van Beek has a bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering and a master's degrees in business leadership. MBW feels that Van Beek, who will participate in setting the vision, managing leadership and directing future steps in the company's journey, is an excellent fit for this leadership role and that the company is fortunate to have him.
