Happy Summer! As I write this message, it's June 22nd and I am in down in Cambridge, MD attending the Surety Claims Institute's 48th Annual Meeting, along with three other members of Beacon's Construction Consulting team. The SCI is a great group (the oldest & largest organization dedicated to professionals working in the fidelity and surety industry). I've enjoyed serving as SCI's Treasurer since 2019. This year's meeting has some interesting sessions. Today, Beacon Project Manager Elizabeth Paquet will be speaking as part of an SCI panel discussion entitled "Price Escalation, Inflation, and the Post-Pandemic World - Impacts to the Surety." Overall, the SCI's annual meeting is a great chance to stay on top of what is happening in the surety claims world and also network with friends, clients, and partners in the industry.
