Professional
Liability Insurance
Risk
Control: Is it part of the plan for your own design business?
As
a provider of services, you need to consider the impact that
client allegations can have on your firm’s financial stability.
You can face lawsuits for design errors or omissions, negligent
advice, loss of documents or copyright disputes. Whether a claim
is false or justified, legal defense costs alone can be devastating
to you financially.
Protect
your financial livelihood and reputation with professional
liability insurance now available to SNAME members
through the A&E Advantage Program. This comprehensive coverage
is available to you at a members-only rate. The plan includes:
-
Liability limits up to $5,000,000 in financial protection
-
Legal defense costs, settlements, compensation and damages
- Financial
liabilities arising from joint ventures or negligence of any
subcontractors, current and former employees or partners
- Endorsement
option for debt collection to recover owed funds
-
And more

Card

for medications not covered by the Medicare Part D plan, or
when it will provide better savings.

On
The Road!
A
few weeks ago, SNAME took Sea Perch on the road - to the Oceantech
Expo in Providence, Rhode Island. The show, sponsored by The
Marine Technology Reporter Magazine, was attended by professionals
in the Maine and Ocean Technology fields, and featured cutting-edge
underwater technology. Some VIP attendees included the Governor
of Rhode Island, as well as Robert Ballard, famous ocean explorer.
It was a great opportunity to showcase the Sea Perch program
and to provide information to attendees about the program. Most
important, though, was showcasing the Sea Perch in the water!
Few could resist operating the controls, and in the process,
they were educated about the program and the reasons for its
existence. Most importantly, they were asked to get involved,
and many responded. A grand success!

Director Kimball is shown managing the SNAME/Sea Perch
Booth at the inaugural OceanTech07 Show held in Providence,
RI, September 5-7. He is holding a completed Sea Perch
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) built over the summer
by his 14-year old neighbor expressly for live operating
demonstrations for visitors to OceanTech07. The Sea Perch
Outreach Program is designed to attract middle school
students to engineering, and naval architecture, marine
and ocean engineering in particular, and funded by a grant
from ONR for SNAME to grow this outreach initiative from
a local to a national program over the next few years. |
