Stephen Shanton, president of Venture Construction Group of Florida, leads the way in restoration education

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Stephen Shanton, president of Venture Construction Group of Florida, receives prestigious WindStorm Insurance Network® (WIND) Fellow® Designation. The WIND Designation Program accreditation is awarded to industry leading contractors who specialize in property and windstorm insurance claims and who demonstrate the highest levels of technical knowledge and professionalism in the industry.

“Working in Florida through some of the worst storms imaginable for nearly 20 years, I believe it’s imperative to stay ahead of the education curve and provide the highest level of service possible to homeowners and businesses. We proudly carry WIND Certified Umpire®, WIND Certified Appraiser®, WIND Certified Fellow® accreditations, in addition to many nationwide leading roofing and storm damage industry accreditations. Wind damage may not be immediately apparent or visible after a severe thunderstorm, hail, or windstorm; making it extremely important to have a certified inspection after major storms.  Severe wind damage can lead to roof and exterior destruction, property deterioration, leaks, premature aging, and weakened roofing structures, increasing susceptibility to further damage in the event of future storms and hurricanes,” says Stephen Shanton, CEO and president of Venture Construction Group of Florida.

WIND is the only member association to bring together both defense and policyholder professionals to connect, learn and engage on important property/windstorm insurance claims issues. WIND provides professional development, continuing education events and credential programs.  The WIND Designation Program promotes awareness of property/windstorm insurance claim issues through the application of educational initiatives, shared member resources, and technology to support property/windstorm-related insurance claims services.

“WindStorm Insurance Network (WIND) Fellows hold some of the highest standards in the property claims industry. We are pleased to have Stephen Shanton named as a WIND Fellow and look forward to working with him to improve the property insurance claims industry,” says Michelle Griffin, Executive Director, WindStorm Insurance Network.
