JUNE 2018 • Volume XXV • Number V<br />
SCA MISSION STATEMENT:<br />
“The Sacramento Claims Association is a professional organization<br />

June 2018 Message from<br />
SCA President<br />
Steve Moore, PE, CASp<br />
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor<br />
gloom of night…” is the beginning of<br />
the unofficial motto for the United States<br />
Postal Service. I would like to finish the<br />
motto with “…nor driving winds stays<br />
these participants of the 2018 SCA Golf<br />
Tournament from having a wonderful day<br />
with colleagues, clients, and friends!”<br />
Although it was quite windy out at the<br />
SCA President<br />
Steve Moore, PE, CASp<br />
Barrish Pelham & Associates, Inc.<br />
Turkey Creek Golf Course in Rocklin on May 11, we still had a<br />
fantastic time! THANK YOU AGAIN! to Mr. Mathieu Schwartz,<br />
the SCA Vice President, for coordinating and pulling off another<br />
very successful event! The Sacramento Fire Fighters Burn Institute<br />
was once again the charity organization affiliated with the tournament<br />
and we were told everyone was gracious and very generous!<br />
Another THANK YOU! and a YOU’RE AWESOME! and a WE<br />
COULDN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU! goes out to all of our<br />
sponsors and golfers at the event, especially our Eagle sponsors,<br />
JM Environmental and Regas Group!<br />
The SCA Board of Directors is “blown away” and very appreciative<br />
of the continued support we get from our Members.<br />
We hope above all else that you feel your Membership in our Association<br />
is meaningful and productive. So, we welcome any questions<br />
or concerns you may have about the golf tournament, or any other<br />
SCA Social Event, in an attempt to make them more beneficial for<br />
our association and germane to the industry.<br />
The SCA continues on with its stream of Social events in the months<br />
of June and July. For June, we are planning a late afternoon mixer at<br />
Mayahuel and in July it’s the annual River Cats game! To purchase<br />
tickets for hopefully both events, please visit the SCA website at<br />
www.sacramentoclaims.org for more information and purchasing<br />
options.<br />
I hope to see everyone soon!<br />

RegasGroup Announces Addition of Amaya Fine to<br />
accommodate Bay Area Expansion<br />
RegasGroup Environmental Consultants is<br />
very pleased to announce the addition of Business<br />
Development Executive, Amaya Fine, to their<br />
staff as of May 1, 2018.<br />
“As RegasGroup has expanded into the East Bay<br />
& North Bay we are proud to announce Amaya as<br />
our new Business Development Executive,” stated<br />
Business Development Manager, Andrea Latimer.<br />
“She is a great addition and we are excited to<br />
Amaya Fine<br />
welcome her to TeamRegas!”<br />
RegasGroup provides same day testing, results and reports for asbestos, lead,<br />
mold and bacteria.<br />
Amaya stated that she first got into the industry “just by chance. A friend with<br />
whom I went to high school posted a job opening for a part-time admin in his<br />
office. I applied, and there I was…in restoration! I worked the front desk for<br />
about 10 months and then transitioned into Marketing,” she added.<br />
Prior to taking that position, Ms. Fine said she had been “a stay at home mom<br />
for 3 years”.<br />
A Bay Area native, “born and raised”, Amaya earned her Bachelor of Arts<br />
degree in Communication Studies from California State University at Sacramento.<br />
Working in Marketing, then, is a perfect fit for her, she said.<br />
“I feel like where I am with my whole job/career is my strongest accomplishment,”<br />
she said with her big welcoming smile. “To find something that you<br />
enjoy doing EVERYDAY is truly a blessing! The quote, ‘Choose a job you<br />
love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life’ is so true!”<br />
When not at work, Amaya’s focus is on her two daughters, Penelope (7) and<br />
Scarlett (4). “When I’m not working they are my whole world. We spend tons<br />
of time outdoors and love to travel! From bike rides around the neighborhood,<br />
hiking Black Diamond Mines, beach days in Santa Cruz and visiting family in<br />
Spain, we stay pretty busy.”<br />

Amaya Fine, may be reached at: 916-235-3110, or eastbay.service@<br />

Sacramento Claims Association News Network • May 2018<br />
ERC Announces Addition of Hailey Ayres<br />
Emergency Restoration & Cleaning (ERC), based<br />
in the Sacramento area, is pleased to announce the<br />
addition of Ms. Hailey Ayres, as a Systems Analyst,<br />
to their team.<br />
Relatively new to the property claims world, Hailey’s<br />
big news is that she just achieved her Master’s<br />
Degree, in Public Administration, from Cal State<br />
Hayward.<br />
“There’s been a huge emphasis in my Master’s<br />
program on Organizational Management & Development,<br />
which I am excited to incorporate into my<br />
Hailey Ayres<br />
new job here at ERC,” she stated. “As ERC’s Systems Analyst, my goal is to<br />
help facilitate their inevitable growth this year.”<br />
A native of Walnut Creek, CA, Hailey graduated from Las Lomas High School,<br />
before attending University of California at Santa Barbara, where she earned<br />
her Bachelors Degree in Sociology. Out of college she went to work for the<br />
City of El Cajon, in the San Diego area.<br />
She moved back after several years to the Bay area and went to work for Wingard<br />
Construction, finding her way to the Claims industry.<br />
She started in the accounting department and front desk at Wingard. She soon<br />
advanced to become the Construction Coordinator, and then took on the role<br />
as Marketing Manager when Katie Howard retired.<br />
“Katie was the one who introduced me to the East Bay Claims Association, and<br />
the industry,” she said with her infectious smile.<br />
One of Hailey’s life goals is to one day become the Mayor of Walnut Creek.<br />
Hailey has very effectively made her mark in the industry since she arrived on<br />
the scene. “I have been in the industry for about 2 ½ years and am actively<br />
involved on both the East Bay Claims and CCNC (Claims Conference of N.<br />
California) Boards. I have valued those extra positions greatly as they have<br />
allowed me to form a deeper connection to the industry as a whole as well as<br />
the awesome people that are in it.”<br />
She went on to explain how ERC has grown. “My boss, Kevin Manzer,<br />
originally started his business as a Carpet Cleaning company called Always<br />
Green Clean,” she said. “In the last 7 years, he has ventured in to the Insurance<br />
Restoration industry as ERC (Emergency Restoration & Cleaning). ERC is a<br />
one-stop-shop that can service claims from the start at Emergency Services, to<br />
Water/Fire Restoration & Cleaning, to Contents, and on through the Reconstruction<br />
phase.”<br />
Though the company mainly services the greater Sacramento area, she said,<br />
they have provided services for clients all over Northern California from Santa<br />
Rosa, to Grass Valley, and even to Lake Tahoe.<br />
“As employers we all understand the challenge in finding qualified candidates to<br />
fill various positions,” ERC President, Mr. Manzer, stated. “When I originally<br />
spoke with Hailey it was for an Xactimate report writer position. After only<br />
five minutes of speaking with her I realized how intelligent, professional, and<br />
confident in her abilities she was. 15 minutes into our conversation I had already<br />
created a position specific for Hailey, and we are so excited to have her on board.”<br />
Though she’s been quite busy, Hailey makes time for her personal interests and<br />
hobbies. “When I am not studying or working (which feels rare these days!),<br />
my favorite things are live music and being outdoors. On the weekends you can<br />
catch me on a hike in the open space during the day and/or a concert or show<br />
with friends at night.”<br />
ERC Systems Analyst, and EBCA Secretary, Hailey Ayres, may be reached at:<br />
916-206-5545 (office), 916-717-6153 (cell) or hailey@ercsac.com<br />
The ERC Mailing Address is: 3073 Kilgore Road, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.

Rockin’ the Summer Time Blues!<br />
By Bryan Harrison, Association News Network Publisher<br />
Summertime, and the living is...<br />
busy!<br />
The kids are out of school, or soon<br />
will be. Summer plans are kickingin,<br />
making the ensuing season the<br />
busiest for many families.<br />
Amongst your plans, make time for your<br />
professional world, even as much of those<br />
plans include such events as Paint Nite,<br />
Tequila tasting, a Golf Tournament, even a baseball game. You<br />
deserve to have a little fun amongst your work colleagues, too, right?<br />
This week kicks it off! Wednesday, June 13, 2018, the East Bay<br />
Claims Association is holding their second annual Paint Nite. Attendees<br />
should arrive at Zio Fraedo’s by 6pm, rather than lunch<br />
time. There will be no luncheon that day. Go to: EastBayClaims.<br />
org to sign-up now.<br />
The following day, June 14th, the Sacramento Claims Association is<br />
holding an afternoon/evening Tequila Tasting mixer event at Museo<br />
Mayahuel, in downtown Sacramento. Go to: SacramentoClaims.<br />
org to sign up and/or sponsor the event.<br />
And, this Friday, Mid-Valley Claims Association will hold a regular<br />
luncheon meeting (just to remind you this is a thing, even in June),<br />
featuring guest speaker Kurt Ahlich, PE, of ARCCA, addressing Cost<br />
Estimating. Go to MidValleyClaims.org to register now.<br />
July will see still more fun activities in which to partake. Sacramento<br />
Claims will hold their annual SCA Night At The Rivercats baseball<br />
game, and EBCA will hold their 17th annual Golf Tournament Friday,<br />
July 27th, at Eagle Vines, in Napa.<br />
Mid-Valley Claims recently announced a luncheon July 17th - speaker<br />
to be determined, and their first-ever MVCA Bowling Tournament<br />
Friday, September 21, 2018 at Pacific Bowl in Stockton. Details<br />
soon on their site.<br />
Enjoy your Summer!<br />
warmly,<br />

Membership Drive for 2018<br />
Is On! - Join/Renew Now<br />
The Sacramento Claims Association Membership Committee would like<br />
to encourage you to join and/or renew your annual membership to the<br />
association. Member dues provide a significant financial support to the<br />
organization, and a strong membership helps to keep a non-profit like<br />
SCA viable and alive. Without all of us together there would be no SCA.<br />
“This organization could not maintain the strong standing we enjoy<br />
today without the support of all our members,” stated SCA President<br />
Steve Moore.<br />
The organization has worked diligently to continue to provide programs<br />
and events of interest and value to claims adjusters and the<br />
surrounding claims service community.<br />
“The Sacramento Claims Association is always committed to maintaining<br />
a high degree of professional courtesy within our ranks.”<br />
In addition to the organization actively taking measures to continue<br />
to raise its standing within the community at large, the association<br />
has been building on its sphere of local charitable causes to support.<br />
The SCA Board has opted to continue to offer annual FREE Memberships<br />
to insurance carrier adjusters (with an optional suggested $10<br />
donation going to the charitable fund). Completion and submission<br />
of a simple membership application now allows all such claims people<br />
the benefits of membership.<br />
