Message From the Chair
Dear Committee Members:
I have been fortunate enough to be selected to Chair this Committee for the upcoming year and I am looking forward to another outstanding year for the Committee.
Renee Callantine is the Chair-Elect this year. Please feel free to contact Renee at rcallantine@chapop.com or me if you would like to become more involved in the Committee or have any questions or suggestions.
We are in the final planning stages for our Spring meeting scheduled for April 28-30, 2011 at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Resort, Orlando, Florida. The program will address and coverage issues which arise during the litigation of property insurance claims for catastrophic losses. An experienced faculty will share some of the lessons learned during the property insurance claims that followed catastrophic events such as 9/11 and Katrina and give us advice to better prepare us for handling those claims that arise out of the next catastrophic loss. Please do not miss it.
We are also excited about our updated website. Our website Vice-Chair, Doug Widin, has great plans to keep the site relevant for our daily practice. Among other things, we hope to have new property insurance decisions posted to the site in a timely manner. Please reach out to Doug directly at dwidin@reedsmith.com if you have content you believe suitable for posting.
We will also have several publications coming out this year. John Garaffa is always looking for new content for the Committee Newsletter. Bill Schreiner is our publications Vice-Chair and is working on our submission to the TIPS Annual Survey along with an update to our Bad Faith Annotations. Finally, the Committee expects to put out a revised edition of its Property Insurance Litigator’s Handbook. Obviously, there are plenty of great opportunities to publish written material through the Committee. If you would like to participate in any of these projects, please let me know.
I am truly excited about our activities for the upcoming year. I hope you will take the time to get involved with these efforts.
