Big Plans for 2006
Inaugural message from
2006 EBCA President Robert A. Tucknott


My heartfelt welcome to all the members and guests they will bring to the East Bay Insurance Adjusters monthly meetings for 2006. As your President I will emphasize networking and doing business with each other in a friendly and informative environment.

We all know why we come to these meetings; it is to meet and greet friends in the Industry and people we can trust to handle our needs. We are not a philanthropic organization or a social gathering point, but an association that benefits Insurance Adjusters by giving them a quality group of vendors they can “break bread” with and develop relationships that will pay dividends in making their work so much easier.

The vendors benefit by having an opportunity to develop those relationships and expand them with the insurance industry and the adjusters they do business with. The most important part of our meeting is the social networking gathering prior to the meeting and just after and “table talk” we have when the Speaker is not speaking. If I am at the podium feel free to keep talking as long as you are achieving the goals set out above. Don’t worry, I can talk over you.

We will try to keep informative speakers related to our Industry lined up for our monthly speaker agenda, as well as other speakers of general interest for the group.

Our goal this year is to add more insurance adjusters. Don’t worry the vendors will follow. We offer our insurance adjusters a complimentary lunch and appreciate it when they attend. Any vendor caught tackling an insurance adjuster and throwing them to the floor will be sent to their room without lunch. Be forewarned. I also promised you a little bit of fun while we do this, to keep these luncheons fun, interesting, informative and profitable. It will only work if everyone attends so I expect 100% attendance at every meeting or I am not doing my job and I hate to be a failure.

Look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Bob Tucknott
