Quick Overview: 

Whether we have 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring, winter isn't only burst pipes, ice dams, and auto accidents. Adjusters can also see slip and falls as a result of winter wonderlands. 

Join the GKCCA as they host a panel with JS Held's Chris Wilkens, Sedgwick's Rob Phipps, Blue Valley School District's Sid Cumberland, and CMR Consulting's Chantal Roberts.
