PCI to Host Insurance and Auto Repair Session at NACE
2009
|
CHICAGO—The Property Casualty Insurers Association of
America (PCI) will host a session focused on legislative and regulatory issues
facing the insurance and auto repair industries at the International Autobody
Congress & Exposition (NACE) this fall in Las Vegas.
PCI’s Senior Director of Personal Lines Bob Passmore is
the featured speaker. His interactive presentation will include a look at
issues that arose in the 2009 legislative sessions, such as consumer repair
options, estimating practices, aftermarket parts and shop licensing proposals,
as well as a look ahead to 2010.
The session will be held Wednesday, November 4th
at 10:30 a.m. NACE runs from November 4-7 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
“I’m glad to have this opportunity to talk with
repairers about issues that are important to both groups,” said Passmore. “Insurers
and auto body repair shops have a lot of common ground. They share the same
customers and are held accountable for a quality repair and repair experience
by the consumer.”
NACE is designed for buyers and sellers within the
collision repair community and offers networking opportunities and a
marketplace to see new products, services, equipment and technology. The event
is co-located with CARS, a trade and conference event for automotive service
professionals.
Together, the events provide more than 80 educational
and training sessions and have more than 400 diverse exhibitors.

PCI is composed of
more than 1,000 member companies, representing the broadest cross-section of
insurers of any national trade association. PCI members write over $176
billion in annual premium, 35.9 percent of the nation’s property casualty
insurance. Member companies write 43.8 percent of the U.S. automobile
insurance market, 29.6 percent of the homeowners market, 32.8 percent of the
commercial property and liability market, and 38.4 percent of the private
workers compensation market.
