Vision Magazine Writer
 Vision Cvr Spring 09
Do you like to write? Looking for a new way to earn CCAM continuing education credits?  Are you interested in sharing your expertise with over 3,000 managers and service providers?  Two CEUs will be awarded to each CCAM who, as a member of the Vision Editorial Committee, attends at least eight Vision Committee meetings per year and has two published Vision Magazine feature articles. 
 
The committee meets by teleconference so you will not even need to leave your office!  Of course, there is a bit of small print;  these hours will count toward recertification but they are not substitutes for the required twenty classroom hours.

Fidelity insurance limits are the most underinsured and overlooked of all insurance policy limits. A fidelity loss is an exposure that no one wants to think will happen but it can. Manage this exposure with the Master Fidelity Insurance Program by aggregating the crime coverage utilizing one comprehensive policy form for all associations.
 
MasterFidelity.com automatically reviews financials annually, eliminating potential underinsured limits.
 
The MasterFidelity.com website allows management firms to group their community association's fidelity insurance, creating a large aggregate policy limit for the management firm that also includes coverage for the owners of the management firm.
