To our Valued Program Members,
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CFSA is diligently working to ensure that our programs and services take into consideration the uncharted territory we are all experiencing.
Whether it's a necessary pool program clarification or an additional protection put in place in response to a need relayed to us by program members, CFSA is on it!
That said, we realize that our weekly - sometimes twice daily! - updates and "Did you knows" can be somewhat overwhelming, especially with everything else you have on your plate right now.
To help you navigate our emails, our April
fyi
newsletter is dedicated to sharing our most recent updates, insurance alerts, risk control recommendations and more. It's binge-worthy!

CFSA's Master Insurance List
Update: March 26, 2020
It has come to our attention that during the COVID-19 pandemic many of the participants on CFSA's Master Insurance List are obtaining permission from their insurance carriers to delay their annual renewal for general liability and workers’ compensation insurance while the businesses are in “shut down” mode.
In light of this, CFSA will delay sending notice to fairgrounds regarding insurance policy expirations for vendors on the CFSA Master Insurance List. We will only do this if the vendor sends us written confirmation from their insurance carrier stating that they have been granted a delayed renewal date.
Written confirmations can be sent to Mario Castagnola, Risk Analyst, at 1776 Tribute Road, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95815, or to
mcastagnola@cfsa.org
.
If you have any questions, please contact Mario via email or by phone at 916/263-6145.
