Navigating Surety Capacity Throughout COVID-19 - A Complimentary Webinar
OCA members are invited to join us for Navigating Surety Capacity Throughout COVID-19. Mark Nelson with AssuredPartners will be presenting during this interactive chat on Tuesday, May 12 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
To register for this webinar, click here. There is no cost to attend and we encourage you to register in advance because registration is limited.
The flow of surety credit is the life blood of many construction organizations. Although construction continues as an “Essential” service throughout most of the Midwest, there is real concern for what new work opportunities will look like later in 2020 & 2021. Public entities have significant budget issues and private entities are cautious to expand. How might the new construction environment effect the flow of surety credit to your organization? Mark will lead a discussion on:
• Sureties reactions to COVID -19 thus far
• Opportunities & Land Mines in dealing with your surety
• How will sureties factor in PPP loans in their underwriting
• Proactive steps to manage your business now & post COVID-19
For questions regarding registration, contact OCA Director of Chapter Development, Melanie Kitchen at [email protected]. |

Funding Update from OCA President, Chris Runyan
Dear OCA Members,
I first want to thank you for the herculean efforts you are putting forth in maintaining construction activities on the many heavy/highway projects across the State of Ohio during this time of COVID-19. We are thankful that our industry is deemed an essential business because of the importance of keeping our highway transportation infrastructure in good condition during this pandemic episode and into the future. I appreciate that the conditions you continue to work under are much more challenging due to the efforts to ensure that you and your fellow workers remain coronavirus-free.
