Shepard Building 444 Aviation Blvd. | Santa Rosa, CA Cost: No Charge - dinner included. SCMA is pulling all the resources together into one evening just for you. We have lots of questions and concerns related to rebuilding after the Firestorm of October 2017. This way when the insurance guy says, "Well, you need to ask the builder or speak to the City of Santa Rosa." The panel can answer questions on the spot, and we can all move forward more efficiently. Attendees will leave with valuable information and numerous resources for making the most of their 2018 plans for recovery and rebuilding. Panelists include: Financial: Exchange Bank Legal: Abbey, Weitzenberg, Warren & Emery Engineering: Debris clean up and erosion control Building Contractor Insurance: Bruce Okrepkie Structural Engineer: MKM & Associates Architect: Jaime Stich City of Santa Rosa City Council Member City of Santa Rosa Permit Department: Gabe Osborn County of Sonoma: Tennis Wick, Permit Department Preparing for the workshop: Please send your questions in advance to exec@scma.org by Jan. 10, if possible. I will share all advance questions with the panelists so they can be prepared to answer questions that are relevant to your concerns. This is not meant to be just a panel of talking heads. This is a panel of experts designed to get our medical community moving forward and allaying recovery concerns. Note: Please share this program with anyone in our community whom you believe may benefit from this information. All are welcome to attend. RSVP to rachel@scma.org or by calling (707) 525-4375.
