special achievement award |
 The LexisNexis Workers' Compensation Law Community is pleased to announce the recipient of its first Special Achievement Award. This year we would like to honor a social media phenomenon on LinkedIn - the Work Comp Analysis Group.
In the fall of 2008, Mark Walls, an Assistant Vice President - Claims at Safety National, started a discussion group on LinkedIn, with "the hopes of creating a tool to dialogue with other industry professionals about workers' compensation issues". Three years later, the Work Comp Analysis Group, with 11,000+ members strong, continues to provide an active and engaged discussion group on issues that concern the workers' compensation world.
We want to recognize Mark Walls for his foresight in recognizing social media as a legitimate and vibrant platform to bring together industry professionals to discuss current topical ideas, concerns and solutions for the workers' compensation industry. > Read more. |
