BPAA and RiskWell Partnership

BPAA and RiskWell have partnered to bring insurance essentials to members. The partnership is designed to help centers become better risks and informed shoppers in the insurance marketplace. Safety courses, seminars, news, tips, signage, lane labels, ball return decals and other items will be free for members. Advocacy to current and new underwriters will be key to our partnership.

While RiskWell can write insurance, that is not the intent of the partnership. RiskWell starts by helping you evaluate your current broker, because we don't need just one broker. We need a marketplace full of good brokers who are willing to help center with risk management and willing to advocate to underwriters for lower premiums and better coverage.

Want better premiums? Use the Agent Score Card to evaluate your current agent. Be sure to send BPAA your agents that score 90 or more!
