Established on a cold rainy night in
late 1988, UPA is a grass roots organization founded on the principle that every member is an individual businessman
who knows best how to run his business. We have banded together to expand our knowledge and get good quality liability insurance from Fireman's Fund.
Our little grass roots organization has grown. From our humble beginnings we
have grown to over 1,900 members.
"Freedom at the Chapter Level...Simplicity at the Board Level" is our motto.
Chapters are free to run their meetings in a manor that best suits their
members. Chapters are required by Fireman's Fund to meet a minimum of 9
times a year. The UPA Joint Board meets quarterly and covers its own expenses.
Insurance Information
The world of insurance is constantly changing. The Insurance page is updated regularly so members can stay informed about their Fireman's Fund business liability policy.
Knowledge of your policy and knowing what to do if you have a problem is key to keeping claims at a minimum and our premiums low.
Virginia Graeme Baker Act Coverage
There was a little confusion during February 2009 surrounding liability coverage on VGB Act work. Your current insurance contract covers VGB Act work and has not been changed.
According to Fireman's Fund it was a mistake to limit coverage and they will continue to cover VGB Act work going forward. Disregard the confusing letters you have received from the insurance eggheads. I think life in the florescent lit cubicles made those guys a little punchy.
UPA Joins the Blogosphere
In the spirit of the "UPA Bulletin
Board" we now have the "UPA Bulletin Blog". It's a great place
for poolmen to ask questions of one another, have their say or state their beef.
Just go to upabulletinblog.blogspot.com
join up and let 'er rip, in good taste of course.
