Don Pachner has been invited to present seminars on insurance for mountaineering guides and guide services at the American Mountain Guides Association national meetings on October 27, 2022 at the Petzl Technical Center in Salt Lake City, UT. This is the first in-person AMGA national meeting since the beginning of the pandemic and I am looking forward to meeting you there!

The subject will be: “Conquering Insurance Challenges for Climbing and Mountaineering Guides & Guide Services With Q&A: Post-pandemic insurance markets and requirements present challenges for experienced and new guides or guide services.  Effective navigation of available insurance programs and underwriting guidelines makes a difference in obtaining or maintaining proper coverage on your guiding operations at reasonable cost.  Includes a Q&A session“

Pachner & Associates, LLC will attend the 2022 Wilderness Risk Management Conference in Burlington, VT from October 19-21, 2023. This is the first in-person conference since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stop by our vendor exhibit booth and introduce yourself! Don Pachner & David LeClair will also be attending seminars during the conference.
