Meeting/Event Information
March 2025 CPCU Educational Meeting - Another Look at Ethics
Our partner chapter, the El Camino Chapter, is hosting a webinar featuring one of our own esteemed chapter members and former Sacramento Valley Chapter presidents, Ulises Castellon! Please join us!
The insurance claims professional’s responsibilities extend beyond the technical ability to resolve issues of: coverage, liability and damages. The process of investigation, evaluation and resolution is one that relies on good judgment to discharge their contractual responsibilities to their customers. This workshop is designed to provide thoughtful dialogue among claims professionals to provide some tools and perspective. It is not designed to ‘teach or preach’. It provides some ‘real world’ claims examples and allows for the participants to discuss and evaluate the competing interests and pressures that exist in our business.
This 1-hour course has been approved for 1 CE Credit in California (CA), Florida (FL)*, Georgia (GA),Texas (TX), Oklahoma (OK), and Oregon (OR).
