This seminar is presented to your town's department heads at your site. This gives you the advantage of not having to travel to a regional location and gives us a chance to review your claims and tailor the presentation to your town. Ken's presentation takes about one hour. There is no cost for a Metrogard or Diplomax policy holder.

It is recommended that Department Heads and those in departments that handle claims attend this seminar and learn how best to assist the adjusters. Please use the guide above to determine who from the town and/or school administration could most benefit from attending the seminar.
