While it often was a challenge to take care of my business, my family obligations and complete the duties of the SCA- it was always a pleasure to do so. I know that I echo the sentiments of all of the prior presidents 2009 SCA President Don Sams when I tell you that I feel that I have received much satisfaction from my term so far. The new members of the Board of Directors will be voted upon. I am very excited at the influx of new ideas that our new board members will bring to the table. Who knows what possibilities are in store for our members? We have had a great year and I feel that there is more to accomplish in the future. In a struggling economy, we have been able to provide significant assistance to a local service organization that makes a real difference to young moms and their children. I am very proud that the SCA stepped up for a small group of dedicated people and helped them to continue their valuable work. Our vice-president, Chris Yaw, organized donations for the victims of the Auburn fires are tirelessly worked to collect and distribute the clothing, money and household goods that our people provided. The board of directors has recommitted to our mandate for education and is looking at fulfilling that promise in new ways. Last month’s speaker, Elaine Lundberg, was terrific and a delightful change of pace – providing great information in an unorthodox way. The SCA seminar that has languished in recent years is revived and planned for the spring of 2010. It is a huge commitment for the education committee but one that they hope will fill a gap in our educations and continuing education credits. It’s closing in on time to finalize the plans for the Winter Party. This is a chance for the SCA to thank the membership by throwing a fantastic party with great food and an opportunity to ‘boogie ‘til the cows come home’ at a price you couldn’t get anywhere else. There are hotel rooms on the grounds available at great rates for your convenience and face it, safety. The Lionsgate even includes breakfast if you stay the night so it really is an unbeatable deal. There are, unfortunately, a limited amount of tickets available because of the size of the ballroom so if you haven’t been able to purchase tickets for this year’s event, be continued page 6 3 P eople on the Move BELFOR ADDS FRAME TO FILL VALLEY EXPANSION People on the Move is provided as a free service to the industry, designed to help keep everyone concerned informed as to what’s going on, and who is where.

She has been receiving warm welcomes back to Sequoia Insurance, a regional carrier she reluctantly left when they closed their Sacramento office, this time as a remote casualty adjuster based in her home office in Sacramento, and she couldn’t be happier. “Everyone has been so welcoming it is just wonderful,” Tami explains. “It is a huge compliment to be given this opportunity and I truly feel like I’m coming home. Not just coming back to the job, but to people I respect and admire who are committed to the success of this program. Lola Hogan is one I consider my claims mentor, I learned so much from her. It’s a thrill to be reporting to her once again and to be working in an area that I’m passionate about.” Coming from a true multi-line background, Tami started her adjusting career with State Farm and has always been intrigued with the investigative aspect of claims. She cites her father’s job as a California Highway Patrol Captain with instilling that quest to discover the cause of an event in her as she grew, and later in her career she found a field working with litigated files that she “loves, loves, loves!”. “The art of negotiation is another challenge I enjoy,” Tami went on. “Sometimes it isn’t about the money. I’ve learned to think outside the dollar amounts and really try to listen to what will make the claimants feel that a wrong has been atoned. Sometimes it is a written apology - it could be that a bench commemorating their loved one is what success looks like to the claimant.

She opened with a quote from “a famous person: ‘Peace begins with a smile’,” and sought out the answer to who that person was. No one got it right, though she rewarded some for trying. “It was Mother Teresa,” she said. “How often do we laugh out loud?,” she asked the November special guest speaker Elaine SCA Vice President Chris Yaw, Elaine Lundberg, crowd rhetorically. “10-12 times a day,” she stated. “400- Lundberg brought laughter from the start, with and SCA Board member and Speaker Committee SCA President Don Sams her first victim. member Margie Hickey following Ms. Lundberg’s 500 times a day the average 4 year old says ‘Ha!...

You’re the healthiest people in the room right now,” she said. “The more you laugh, the more you cry, the more T-cells (anti-cancer cells) you generate. Work your way up to 100 ‘ha-ha’s a day.” She left us all healthier for having been Anna Giovacchino, RMC; Tami Umland, RMC; Cathrin Nevin, of Carl there. “Joy & laughter are contagious.

John Vigallon, of KellcoMacs Environmental Labs, purchased a copy of Elaine Lundberg’s book, “No More Bummers”. The November meeting saw a crowd of some 125 people. Tami McLarty Home for the Holidays continued from page 8 careful listening,” she says thoughtfully. “Furthermore, I believe in mediation. I think it is smart claims handling. I like to become involved in the mediation process and the attorneys that I work with respect that I’m not impassive about the process,” she states. “I’m excited to know that Sequoia will be supporting continuing education even though, like with all companies, budgets are under scrutiny and reserves are closely watched. It’s great to know that we will be able to stay on top of changes in legislation and technology. It is technology that opened the window to allow me to work in a paperless environment that features real-time file handling in order to take this job.” Tami juggles two cell phones, one for business and one personal phone and clearly gets a kick out of the features that each provide. Tall and athletic, Tami excels at sports from golf to snow and water skiing. She takes the time to explain the nuances of knee boarding behind a ski boat on the river. “People scoff when I say I love knee boarding,” she says, “but when I come off of a wake and catch another wake, they wave and cheer and I love it. But then I get to pay for it in pain in my joints for the next week.” Tami and her Kerry Blue terrier, Truman, like to hang around the kitchen. Tami cooking with passion (imagine that!) and Truman waiting to catch any goodies that may fall during the process. An imaginative cook, Tami’s signature dish is Beef Wellington and she has made it so many times that she loves to improvise the ingredients surrounding the filet for variety.

He brought particular attention to a case now in review by the California Supreme Court: State of California v. Continental Insurance Company, 169 Cal.App.4th 1114 (2009). The Appellate Court’s decision brings into effect what’s known as “stacking” of limits of all policies triggered by a continuing loss, which the appellate court determined to be the result of a single “occurrence.” “It doesn’t matter when the damage occurred, if your policy is triggered you’re liable for all sums,” Coates explained. Further, the court ruled that “all policies ‘stack’. “This is a huge huge issue that will affect... cases across the country,” he said. Karen Moore, Esq, an Associate in the San Francisco office of LBL, and Christine Reed, Esq, Partner in the Monterey office, did a nice job of teaming-up to round-out the afternoon with an update on California Law.
