Hello Library Land, I'm checking to see if there are any libraries out there using Michigan Township Participating Plan for their commercial coverage, including workers' comp and D&O/EPLI. I did check NRR-Ninja but didn't see this vendor listed. 1. Are you happy with their service? 2. Did you run into any surprises when filing a claim? 3. If you used this plan, but have since switched to another company, could you share why you switched? Thank you for your help!
