Installation Dinner ReCap

by Andrew Chong

On June 1st, we had our annual TriCounty

installation dinner for the new board of officers and directors for 2016-2017 at the beautiful Chateau Briand. Overall, it was a great success.

Everyone spent an enjoyable evening, in which we had many things to celebrate. We had the opportunity to celebrate Dick Poppa and his wife Kim’s wedding anniversary and Dick’s Upcoming retirement after more than 20 years of service and commitment to IIABNY. TriCounty paid tribute to Dick with a donation to his favored charity, the Farm Sanctuary, which is an organization that works to end the mistreatment of farm animals.

We also awarded scholarships to students who showed exceptional promise

and excellence while attending the St. John’s University School of Risk Management. This was our fifth year of offering these scholarships and It is a privilege to be a part of investing into the future leaders of our industry.

We’d like to extend a big thank you to those who attended and celebrated

with us. We can’t wait to see you again.

Congratulations to the newly elected board of officers, directors, and our

newly installed president, James Bastian of Advantage Partners Inc.!

Chris Dritsas New TriCounty Director

A little over 20 years ago, after graduating

high school and on my way to college, I stumbled upon this great industry of ours. What began as a part time job quickly grew to be a lifelong passion. I started working for a retail oďŹƒce in Bayside. There I learned a great deal about the retail side of the business. Who knew that the NYAIP process of flipping carbon paper would be obsolete 20 years later. After graduating college I opened my retail oďŹƒce in Port Washington with Peter Phillips and John Pappas. There I continued the retail side of the business and ultimately incorporated the underwriting side of the business working for Advantage Partners.

I have to say that being a part of this industry has given me the opportunity to help people everyday.

I decided to join the board to be a part of a focused group that would continue to

make this industry better. I believe alone one cannot make influential changes however together as a group we can be a unified voice to make change possible. Being a part of this organization will allow me to give back in ways that I cannot on my own, in and out of the insurance world. At the same time, I have surrounded myself with some of the smartest, most humbled people this industry knows. Thank you to the entire organization for accepting me and treating me like I have been here for years.

Last but not least, I would like to wish all the best to our new incoming President

James Bastian. I know you will carry forward the success of our past president Peter Phillips in making it another successful term.

[30]

Steve Ferrar New TriCounty Director

Steve grew up in Valley Stream, NY. He

graduated from Valley Stream Central High School, where he met his wife, Debbie, when they were assigned to be in the same Driver Education car. He then attended St. John’s University as a business marketing major on a full athletic scholarship for tennis. Steve spent a few years as a tennis pro teaching tennis at various country clubs on Long Island. He then decided to enter the family insurance business that was started by his father, Ed, who established it in Franklin Square after his return from WW II, where he served as an Air-Force Fighter pilot. Steve has two children who both were recently married. Ferrar Insurance Agency is still located in Franklin Square and specializes in Personal Lines. Steve is very involved in the “hands on” dealings with his clients on a daily basis and knows the pulse of the personal lines marketplace very well. He believes he can bring some of this “in the trenches” knowledge to the Tri-County Association.

Insurance Costs for December Weather in U.S. Could Top $2 Billion

Total economic losses from the weather events in the U.S. during the month of December 2015 will exceed $4 billion, with insured losses likely to approach or exceed $2 billion, according to reinsurance intermediary Aon Benfield’s Impact Forecas=ng.

The severe weather pa:ern resulted in at least 58 tornado touchdowns, historic flooding in the Mississippi Valley and Midwest, and record snowfall and ice that led to extensive travel disrup=on, as well as hail and damaging winds.

Stephen Folan Past President 2009 - 2011

Tex=ng takes a driver's eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds — the equivalent of driving blind at 55 mph for the length of an en=re football field — adding up to devasta=ng consequences. Drivers who are tex=ng are 23% more likely to be involved in a car crash than other drivers.

A crash typically happens within an average of 3 seconds amer a driver is distracted.

Why Customer Satisfaction Is Falling for Large Auto Insurers, Rising for Small: J.D. Power

Amer climbing in each of the past two years, customer sa=sfac=on is falling among the na=on’s largest auto insurers, while sa=sfac=on is actually up a tad for small insurers. This rising dissa=sfac=on with large carriers is in turn driving overall industry sa=sfac=on downward as customers react nega=vely to price increases, according to the J.D. Power 2016 U.S. Auto Insurance Study. One key reason smaller insurers are doing be:er is the value brought by their independent agents, according to analysts at J.D. Power. The study examines customer sa=sfac=on in five factors (in order of importance): interac=on; policy offerings; price; billing process and policy informa=on

[32]

(formerly billing and payment); and claims. Sa=sfac=on is measured on a 1,000-point scale.

Top Ranked Carriers Following are J.D. Power’s highest-rated auto insurance brands for customer sa=sfac=on by region: •

California: Ameriprise (846)

•

Central: Shelter Insurance (819)

•

Florida: The Harqord (834)

•

Mid-AtlanSc: Erie Insurance (829)

•

New England: Amica Mutual (855)

•

New York: GEICO (828)

•

North Central: Auto-Owners Insurance (842)

Texas: Texas Farm Bureau Insurance (836) MetLife Wins Court Appeal to Strike Down Systemic Risk Tag

MetLife Inc. beat back a U.S. a:empt to label it too big to fail, which would’ve put America’s biggest life insurer under tougher government scru=ny and forced it to put more money in reserves.

A federal judge in Washington struck down the designa=on, rejec=ng the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s ra=onale for classifying the company as a systemically important financial ins=tu=on. The reasons for the ruling were sealed by the judge.

The ruling undercuts the founda=on of the Obama administra=on’s plan to more heavily regulate four non-bank businesses it determined had the poten=al to destabilize the American financial system. MetLife had called the designa=on arbitrary and unjus=fied. Chief Execu=ve Officer Steve Kandarian said earlier this year that his New York-based company will shed much of its domes=c retail business because SIFI put it at a “significant compe==ve disadvantage.”

Auto Recalls in U.S. Passed 51 Million in 2015

The Na=onal Highway Traffic Safety Administra=on said on Thursday that automakers recalled 51.3 million vehicles in the United States last year, the second-highest ever, in 868 separate campaigns.

U.S. Adds Automatic Braking to Recommended Car Safety Features

The Na=onal Highway Traffic Safety Administra=on plans to add what it considers two “cuyng-edge” automa=c emergency braking systems to the recommended safety features included under its ra=ng system for consumers.

Transporta=on Secretary, Anthony Foxx, said it is recommending two automa=c emergency braking systems – crash imminent braking (CIB) and dynamic brake support (DBS) be included in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

Crash imminent braking and dynamic brake support systems intervene by automa=cally applying the vehicle’s brakes or supplemen=ng the driver’s braking effort to avoid or mi=gate the severity of a crash. According to NHTSA data, one-third of all police-reported crashes in 2013 involved a rear-end collision with another vehicle at the start of the crash. The agency also found that a large number of drivers involved in rear-end crashes either did not apply the brakes at all or did not apply the brakes fully prior to the crash.
