A.M. Best Co., publisher of Best's Review magazine, will present a webcast titled, "State-Run Workers' Compensation Funds: Their Role in the Competitive Marketplace" on Wednesday, May 19, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. Registration is free online at www.ambest.com/statefunds10.
Throughout the United States, workers' compensation funds run by individual states control a significant portion of the workers' compensation business. The editors of Best's Review will explore how state workers' compensation funds are changing across the country and how for-profit workers' compensation insurers can compete against them despite those changes.
The webcast speakers include:
- Roger Fries, President and CEO, Kentucky Employers' Mutual
- John T. Leonard, President and CEO, Maine Employers' Mutual Insurance Company (MEMIC)
- Kevin McCarthy, Vice President, Risk Metrics Corporation
- Michelle P. Baurkot, Assistant Vice President, A.M. Best Company
- Sean Carr, Senior Associate Editor, A.M. Best Company
