The RIA’s Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) Committee continues to roll full steam ahead. In case you have not heard of us, the AGA is on a mission to advocate for the best interests of restorers, and to achieve a fair and level playing field, both legally and financially, with insurers and their partners. Each month, we report on our progress and recent developments.

Hey Standards Committee members: The IICRC will hold its second-annual Standards Summit March 19-20, 2020 in Las Vegas. For more info or to register to save your seat, visit www.iicrc.org/2020StandardsSummit.

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is riding a powerful wave since the launch of the Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) Committee at the 2019 convention in Phoenix. The third report in series of reports from the AGA Committee is now available.

If restoration companies are unwilling to unite, advocate for sustainable claims practices and take a proactive approach with insurance carrier claims policies, then the restoration industry, at least as we know it, could cease to exist within a decade. 

The IICRC will present a Standards Track during the upcoming Experience Convention & Trade Show, Sept. 18-20, in Las Vegas. The series of presentations will focus on five IICRC Standards – the S100, S500, S520, S540 and S550 – and will review how to use them as well as highlight critical information in each. 

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is stronger than it has been in decades, and now it is leading the charge to transform the industry as its chief advocate on the front lines.

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is riding a powerful wave after its 2019 Convention in Phoenix, which had the highest attendance of any of its conventions in five years.
