Sturbridge Earns Insurance Premium Credits through
MIIA Rewards Program
(AUGUST 14, 2015) – Sturbridge has received $6,846 back on its workers compensation and property casualty insurance costs – applicable toward premiums for the next fiscal year—thanks to an incentive program offered by the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA), the municipality’s insurance provider. Sturbridge earned the credits through proactive and voluntary participation in loss prevention and risk management activities throughout the year, conducted in partnership with MIIA.
Committed to keeping the community safer and fiscally stronger, Sturbridge implemented loss control and safety measures as well as administrative procedures that reduce the risk of accidents and property damage. In addition, local employees participated in training programs that promote effective management and safe operations. MIIA offers these no-cost programs as a benefit to help member communities reduce their risks as well as insurance premiums.
“I have been pleased to work with MIIA over the past few years,” said Leon Gaumond Jr., Town Administrator for the Town of Sturbridge. “This cooperative arrangement has benefited our community by providing the Town with adequate training opportunities, sample policies and practical advice to assist the Town in controlling our claims and costs.
Stanley Corcoran, Executive Vice President of MIIA said, “Since we launched MIIA’s Rewards incentive program in 2002, our members have worked hard to find innovative ways to mitigate risk, prevent workplace injury, and essentially determine, and lower their own insurance costs. We are pleased to return these funds to Sturbridge and look forward to continuing to build upon our partnership through coordinated risk management activities that help prepare employees, keep residents safe, and save taxpayer dollars.”
The Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA) is the non-profit insurance arm of the Massachusetts Municipal Association. As a member-based organization, MIIA’s only focus is to provide excellent service and quality risk management solutions to Massachusetts municipalities and related public entities.
