The 2022 winter issue of the NASBP Surety Bond Quarterly magazine is here and includes a special supplement featuring NASBP surety executives providing insights into what 2023 holds for the surety and construction industries. The Special Supplement, titled “What’s in Store for the Coming Year! NASBP Surety Execs Look Ahead!,” is one of largest supplements offered by the magazine to date, with 19 surety execs sharing their insights.

The main magazine, themed “Keys to Preparedness” features articles that address Gallagher’s Corban Enns’ strategy for surety success and Greg Veal’s article on the conditions and responsibilities of the obligee and surety in the AIA A312 Performance Bond. Be sure to read the article on federal privacy and security initiatives from CMMC Certification to False Claims Act Enforcement. Another article explains how emerging technology–digitization and automation of construction through AI, robotics, and the IoT–are key to managing and improving construction projects. Peckar & Abramson attorneys Mike Zisa and Lucas Daniels describe how contractors can prepare for the next supply chain crisis. David Robbins of the law firm Jenner and Block analyses the risk of suspension and debarment construction contractors face by agencies that tend to exclude small businesses more often than large ones. The last, but not least, in the issue describes how, when a claim arises, sureties may turn to consultants to assess the situation and to recommend a course of action. Read these nuggets of knowledge that are easy to share with clients and colleagues.
