Partner Daniel Ferris Attends SCR 2026 Annual Conference

Daniel W. Ferris, a partner in the Firm’s Riverside, CA office, attended the Southern California ReLIEF (SCR) 2026 Annual Conference in Rancho Mirage, CA from January 22-24. CMDA was pleased to be a sponsor of the Conference.

SCR is a premier property and liability program for K-12 public school districts across southern California, and CMDA is proud to serve on their Attorney Panel.

Seminar topics included an overview of the challenging insurance marketplace and relevant trends; a discussion on how professionals are best incorporating the use of artificial intelligence into their daily workload and important risk management methods to implement to mitigate potential exposure using these platforms; and a summary of the key components of the Governor’s 2026-27 State Budget proposal.

Mr. Ferris enjoyed attending the conference and networking with SCR members while sharing insight and strategies on navigating liability issues impacting public school districts.
