The industry that we all love and depend upon has been upended over the last year. As a result of the unprecedented challenges COVID-19 brings, many businesses are turning to insurance. At the same time, many insurance carriers are making changes to their policies to limit their losses and contracts are being written to transfer the risk of ‘communicable disease’ to the other party. Attendees will learn more about how to avoid any coverage challenges and contractual transfers issues during this workshop.

Carol Porter has been a Producer in the Recreation division of Haas & Wilkerson Insurance for many years. She works on all types of Fair and Festival accounts ranging from the small county fair to some of the largest events in the nation, in which she provides insurance and risk management consultation. Carol was born and raised in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. She earned her Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation in 1997. She conducts insurance and risk management sessions at Fair/Festival national and regional meetings throughout the year.
