Workers compensation funds operate in many states as providers of coverage and often as insurers of last resort for employers who have difficulty in obtaining coverage. In recent years, the overall workers compensation sector has seen deteriorating underwriting results as payrolls fell and competition heightened.

A preliminary list of panelists for this webinar are:

• A.M. Best analyst(s) focused on workers compensation and state compensation funds;
• Greg Burton, President and CEO of BrickStreet Mutual Insurance Co.; and
• Laurence A. Hubbard, President & CEO at Montana State Fund and current present of the American Association of State Compensation Insurance Funds.
