insurance purposes, it is critical that the property is placed
within the appropriate coverage category, whether it be within
the Building, Contents, Vehicle or Mobile Equipment Schedule.

Your comments about MMA's website are always welcome.
In response to a comment at the Technology Conference about
not liking the tabs in the members area because they kept
forgetting to click on the other tab, changes have been made.
The "off" or "hidden" tab content is now colored gold to cue
users
to click on it for more choices. (Yes, Stacey.
This change is for
you. Thanks!)
