For Deborah Johnson and Charleen Hoskins, their insurance claims story began in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina made landfall. Deborah was a material forklift driver at Chrysler. Charleen, recruited right out of college by the AFL-CIO, was a Union Organizer.
Little did Deborah know, a phone call from her sister Toni would steer her and Charleen, her daughter, towards a life-altering career path. This mother-daughter duo walked away from their jobs and took a chance on the insurance industry without previous knowledge or experience.
Join us as they share their claims story and insurance industry experiences. Starting as help room staff they used a combination of wit, charm, and tenacity to quickly excel and become subject matter experts in contents claim handling and insurance education.
Deborah and Charleen will explain how observation and networking helped them to learn from others, avoid obstacles, recognize insurance service gaps, and exceed industry expectations. Thus, leading them to stand out and carve their own niche.
The 2023 Claims Conference is scheduled for March 17-20 in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center. The Sheraton Boston and Boston Marriott Copley Place are the two headquarter hotels. Information to make reservations will be posted in October.
