“We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with NEMA members to enhance and ensure that their insurance programs offer tailored coverage for their unique needs,” he said. “We look forward to not only offering tailored insurance solutions but also assisting NEMA members in better understanding their insurance programs.”
Kayla Coleman, executive director at NEMA, highlighted the importance of such partnerships in supporting the association's member museums.
“We believe that strong partnerships are key to the success of our member museums, and this collaboration with Distinguished and HUB exemplifies our commitment to providing valuable resources and support,” Coleman said.
Alison Sweeney, vice president and fine art expert of Distinguished’s fine art and collectibles program, remarked on the significance of this collaboration for museum protection.
“The partnership between Distinguished and HUB International for NEMA represents a significant stride forward in museum protection,” Sweeney said. “With our combined expertise, we're providing seamless insurance coverage, enabling museums to focus on their invaluable cultural contributions.”
