August 24th, 2010 Reinsurance Claims, Reinsurance Claims Group, Reinsurance Social Media Comments Off on LinkedIn’s Reinsurance Claims Group is 100 Members Strong!

 On July 30, 2010 we announced the formation of LinkedIn’s Reinsurance Claims group. (Post here)  On August 14, 2010 we introduced the co-managers of the group:  Nigel Shepherd, Robert Bear, Marc Lanzkowsky, Theresa Hajost, Bill Hook and me.  (Post here)  Today we are happy to report that we admitted our 100th member after having been in existence for less than one month!

The group actively discusses issues concerning U.S. and international ceded and assumed reinsurance claims.  It enables members to share information; discuss and debate issues; access a number of excellent reinsurance- and insurance-related blogs; and network with others in the domestic and international reinsurance community.  

The group welcomes new members, and encourages (but does not require) active participation.  The only requirement for membership is a bona fide interest in reinsurance claims.  The group is not a forum for, and does not permit, advertising or blatant self-promotion, so our members need not be concerned about being subject to sales pitches and the like. 

If you are already a member of LinkedIn, please click here to apply for membership in the group.  If you are not a LinkedIn member, please click here and you will be guided through the process of creating a profile (which does not need to be completed in one step).  Once your profile is started, and you have a user name and password, you can click here to apply for membership in the group.  Joining LinkedIn is free, as is joining the group.

We look forward to meeting you online!

[Editor’s Note:  If you are also interested in reinsurance and other types of arbitration and mediation, then we invite you to join LinkedIn’s Commercial and Industry Arbitration and Mediation Group, which is now over 900 members strong.  (Post here, which contains information on how to join.)]

On July 30, 2010 we announced the formation of LinkedIn’s Reinsurance Claims group, which is a forum for the discussion of issues concerning U.S. and international ceded and assumed reinsurance claims.  (Post here)  We would like to introduce the co-managers of the group:  Nigel Shepherd, Robert Bear, Marc Lanzkowsky, Theresa Hajost, Bill Hook and me.  It is an honor to work with such a talented and professionally diverse group of people, and their commitment to the group bodes well for its success.    

But there is more.  Every one of these people is a great human being that is a pleasure to know and with whom it is a privilege to collaborate.  All are readily approachable and willing to share freely their impressive knowledge, skills and experience.  And that is what makes for a great Web 2.0 discussion and networking group.     Continue Reading »
