Owner, Dorna Brown
Since the inception of OCIPs/residential wrap-up programs, Dorna Brown has helped to introduce them to the marketplace and has tirelessly worked to educate the industry on their benefits. She has extensive experience in facilitating wrap-up programs and has handled from small to very large accounts in California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Texas, Idaho and

She also handled every aspect of the organizations’ insurance needs for over 13 years.Hawaii. She has facilitated wrap-up programs for companies such as Centex, KB Home, Trimark Pacific, and Pulte as well as many smaller developers in the previously mentioned states.
While serving as Vice President of Direct Services for DBH Resources, Inc. (DBHR), she set up the procedures and most of the infrastructure for administrating its residential wrap-up programs. She also trained its personnel in wrap-up administration and updated the infrastructure in an effort to improve the department after monitoring its performance.
Under Brown’s direction, DBHR also produced user-friendly products such as guidebooks for certificate of insurance training, and safety and risk management training. Brown instituted a Risk Assessment and Management program where she performed various risk assessments on major as well as smaller developers and provided them with easy-to-implement solutions to minimize their exposure to loss. She also developed training programs for Attached Housing Exclusions, Self-Insured Retention (SIR) Claims Management and Homeowner Customer Service.
While at DBHR, Brown traveled throughout California providing educational
seminars to developers regarding the new SB800 Legislation that became effective on January 1, 2003.
Brown takes great pride in educating developers, contractors and subcontractors about the benefits as well challenges of wrap-up insurance policies. "Because I’ve been working with the industry for so many years, I have a good understanding of their business needs," says Brown. "In general, most companies would rather build their projects than think about insurance. But at DSS, we walk them through it by providing a safe learning environment through listening, answering all questions and treating clients as equals. In the end, we get them to understand the great benefits."
In addition to her extensive practical experience, Brown is a graduate of Georgetown University’s designation program in Associate Real Estate Management, and she holds a designation in Property Management and Retail Leasing through the International Council of Shopping Centers.
