From the desk of
Kim Ayala,
President/CEO
Dear LCIS Insured,
AN IMPORTANT LETTER REGARDING YOUR CLCA MEMBERSHIP
AND YOUR LCIS INSURANCE BENEFITS
Thanks to you, our policy holders and valued clients, LCIS has become the largest independent broker writing landscapers, tree trimmers and nurseries in the Western United States. We are licensed in 22 states and are expanding into other states as the need arises. It is because of our large volume of insureds in the Green Industry that we are able to negotiate very favorable rates and products with our Insurance Company partners, allowing us to provide you with the best and most competitive coverage in the marketplace.
Our longstanding agreement with the CLCA has placed certain restrictions on our ability to aggressively market and sell our services beyond their membership base. To change these restrictions, the Executive Boards of LCIS and the CLCA have been negotiating a revised agreement but have been unsuccessful in reaching a mutually agreeable conclusion. Therefore, as of January 1, 2012, LCIS will no longer be the only exclusive insurance program available to CLCA members.
What does this mean to you, the CLCA member with insurance provided by LCIS?
-
Nothing will change as far as the insurance program you currently have with LCIS. We will continue to provide you with the most competitive programs available, and your service team will remain the same.
-
Most importantly, without the restrictions placed upon us through our agreement with the CLCA, we will continue to provide you with the financial incentives of the past, and more. Rebates will continue to be paid and the profits generated from our expanded business will go into the rebate pool, which increases the rebate potential for you, our insured.
We look forward to continuing to provide you with the superior service you have come to expect from LCIS. We intend to remain dedicated members of the CLCA organization at both the state and local level.
Sincerely,
Kim Ayala
President/CEO
