Carolinas Chapter Announces Bronze Sponsor: SIA Group

Charlotte, NC – The Carolinas Chapter of the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA) is pleased to announce the addition of SIA Group as a Bronze Sponsor in the Carolinas Sponsorship Program. This partnership represents a one-year, $5,000 commitment by SIA Group to support the Carolinas Chapter and the Carolinas Club Foundation (CCF) in its efforts to deliver outstanding education, networking opportunities and services to its members.

Since 1975, SIA Group has been a leading provider of risk management and insurance solutions throughout the Carolinas and Virginia. “SIA Group’s core philosophy is to offer protection beyond insurance. We are constantly moving into new areas bringing knowledgeable leaders who are fully prepared to help our clients manage their Total Cost of Risk,” said Todd Perdue, Senior Risk Advisor, SIA Group.

With CMAA’s increased focus on Risk Management over the recent years, SIA Group’s offerings align well with the current trends of the Association as well as the industry as a whole. Don E. Vance, CCM, CPC, Chief Operating Officer/General Manager of the Hound Ears Club and Career Services Chairman of the Carolinas Chapter, has worked with Todd and his team for years and confidently shared that “it just makes good business sense.” Specifically, Don shared that he has discussed ways to cut expenses, by way of reviewing every detail of his club’s coverage through the SIA Group’s one-on-one consultation services, which includes an ongoing review of the club’s current insurance program. “An important piece for our cub is to not be under insured and, of course, equally important is to not be over insured,” expressed Don. “We feel with the guidance of Todd Perdue and SIA Group, we will be able to keep current with the ongoing changes in laws and trends in the industry.”
