CIAA inaugurates new president

Reno Daigle was inaugurated as president of the Canadian Independent Adjusters’ Association this past Saturday at Dalvay By the Sea in Prince Edward Island.
“It is with pleasure that I pass to you the gong of office,” Fred Plant, immediate past president, said as he handed over the presidential reins. “Wear it with pride I did.”
As Daigle took over the role, he thanked his colleagues for their support and encouragement that they afforded him in taking on the role of president.
He chuckled that some even went so far as forcing him to take on the role.
“Thank you, Fred,” Daigle said. “Fred Plant did an amazing job for all of us here . . . so much dedication and so much passion. It’s quite an example you set for us and for the association.”
During his term as president, Daigle will work to bring continuing education to all provinces, as currently only some are required to complete credit hours.
In addition, Daigle will be working to address the shortage of adjusters within the industry.
A new executive was also inaugurated:
Patti Kernaghan, first vice president
Mary Charman, second vice president
Marie Gallagher, secretary
Randy LaBrash, treasurer
Fred Plant, immediate past president
During the evening, Brian Harris was honoured as a lifetime member for his dedication to the association for the past 24 years.
Craig Walker and Jean-Marc Laurin were recognized as Fellows of the Canadian Independent Adjusters’ Association (FCIAA).
