Haas & Wilkerson Insurance was recently named Number 9 in the region for growth in Property-Casualty Business with Auto-Owners Insurance in 2009.  Representing Haas & Wilkerson Insurance at the reception held at the Missouri Regional office were Steven Hill and Lori Lindquist. 

 "The WWA Board decided the time was right to leverage the current market and take action to shape our future by developing a dedicated WWA insurance program that will give us influence and leverage in the insurance marketplace and help us avoid skyrocketing premiums or loss of coverage in the future," said Swartz during his General Session announcements.

Swartz reported that the WWA insurance program committee developed a detailed RFP which was submitted to almost 30 insurance brokers to identify an agency partner for the new program.

"After considering their experience, their reputation and their willingness to listen, we are proud to announce we're signing a letter of intent here today with Haas & Wilkerson to partner on the development of the new WWA insurance program," said Swartz during the General Session.

The WWA and Haas & Wilkerson will spend the next few months working with WWA members to craft a program that reflects the waterpark industry's unique needs. The program will be rolled out in early January 2010 to meet the needs of members with spring insurance renewals.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the WWA Board and its members to develop the first-ever association-based waterpark industry insurance program," said Ryan Wilkerson, President and CEO of Haas & Wilkerson. "We pride ourselves on listening and responding to our clients and look forward to hearing and learning from the WWA's members."
