GUAA Risk Review, Fall 2002
Westward Ho!
By Kim Miller
Blue Cross Blue Shield of IllinoisThanks to all of you who attended the June meeting in our nation's capitol. We think it was another outstanding meeting, and so did you based on the feedback we received. Our Committees continue to bring you exciting workshops with insightful speakers. They work extremely hard to do this and without the committees, our program would not be where it is today.
In November, our meeting will be held in the beautiful Rocky Mountains so save the following dates: November 10 to November 13, 2002. We'll be meeting at The Brown Palace Hotel, world-renowned for its tradition of elegance and impeccable service for more than 108 years. The hotel is in the central business district in the heart of downtown Denver, CO.
Our meeting will kick off on Sunday night, November 10th, with a welcome reception. Our keynote speaker, Dan Clark, will highlight our Monday morning. Dan Clark is an internationally recognized speaker, entertainer, songwriter/recording artist and New York Times Best Selling Author. Achievers Canada and Achievers Europe named Dan one of the Top Ten Speakers in the World. Dan is THE primary contributing author to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, co-author of "Chicken Soup for the College Soul" and the author of twenty of his own highly acclaimed books, including the extraordinary business leadership book "Simon Says."
In addition to our exciting keynote speaker, our committees have put together another great agenda of workshops including:
Large Group Sales
Broker Panel discussion on small group underwriting
An informative presentation by an attorney specializing in insurance litigation and documenting files
Two group actuary's perspectives on group life trends and issues
Critical Illness - A U.S. Market Update
Investigating Group Life and AD&D Claim Fraud
Dental Practice Trends (from a large dental lab perspective)
Dental Provider Networks (pricing impacts, creating steerage, etc.)
Don't forget the Let's Talk Shop sessions, as they are always a hit. I hope to see you all in Denver!
