CAN IT BE...just a few short weeks ago we were celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Midwest Claim Conference, playing golf at the Highlands Golf Course, and taking in the local flavor of the beautiful Lake Geneva countryside?

On behalf of the Executive Committee, the Education Committee and of course the Chicago Claim Association, we want to extend our gratitude to you and your companies for participating in the 2008 conference.  It has been said so many times before, but bears mentioning once again, without YOU, this wouldn't happen.  Your interest and continued desire to grow in your professional field, to share your experiences and knowledge and open your minds to new ideas, and to continually improve and enhance relationships in the insurance industry, are examples of what being a true professional is all about.

We certainly hope that you enjoyed your stay and found the 2008 Conference to be stimulating.  We invite you to share your positive opinions with others and encourage them to join you at the 2009 conference May 6-8, 2009 at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa.  Don't delay - put it on your calendar NOW!!!

As always, we appreciate any thoughts or suggestions as to pertinent presentations topics or speakers as well as contact information for other insurance industry professionals who may benefit from this conference.

If you thought the 2008 conference was good, just wait until 2009.  It promises to be EVEN BETTER!!!

Comments and suggestions can be directed to the 2009 Conference Chairperson, Judy Bass at judy.bass.a013@statefarm.com.
