Insurance Industry News:                  

P&C Insurers Suffered On All Fronts In 2008 

In addition to the near-bankruptcy of American International Group, 2008 will stand out as a year when turmoil in global financial markets cut the property and casualty insurance industry’s investment gains in half, pulling down net income and taking a 12 percent slice out of the industry’s aggregate surplus level.

Disaster Prepared:

Preparing for Disaster: The Parent View

As a parent, the safety and well-being of your children is your primary concern. It takes a great deal of trust to leave your children in child care, and when disasters occur, this trust takes on a new dimension. NACCRRA understands this and is leading the first-ever nationwide initiative to prepare child care programs for disasters. To help you ensure that your children are safe, NACCRRA offers resources that you can use to ask the right questions of your child care provider and play a role in planning for and recovering from any catastrophe that strikes.

Quote of the Week:                   

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round.  Trouble creates a capacity to handle it.  I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy.  But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it. 

      - Oliver Wendell Holmes
