“Venture is the only club insurance provider that has proprietary access to or underwriting authority from more than one carrier rated ‘A’ or better by A.M. Best,” says Michael DeMarco, executive vice president of the Preferred Club Program. “Our multi market access maximizes the chance that we’ll have the right fit for a club customer’s unique needs.”

Clubs insured by Preferred Club receive FREE access to CardioReady^® Certification, which incorporates the American Heart Association’s AED program recommendations and includes an assessment of the facility as well as the purchase, installation, implementation, training and maintenance of AEDs.
