The draw, in part, may be attributed to the quality of the presentation. The SIU Panel discussion, led by Craig Pusser of CSAA, featured four (4) top-notch fraud-fighters - all experts on various levels within the field of special investigations. Mr. Pusser began the conversation with a unifying theme. “Insurance companies are in competition for busi- ness,” he said. “But when it comes to fighting fraud, we’re all working together.” “California,” he continued, “is a good place to be (in the effort to fight insurance fraud). There are good laws on the books, adjusters on the front lines to get word to those who can act on it, and funding for Craig Pusser, of CSAA SIU. prosecution,” he stated. Each speaker took about a 10-15 time slot, with just a few minutes left in the brief session for questions. Tom Fraysse, an attorney with Knox, Ricksen, followed Pusser. “There are some 131,000 lawyers in California, he said. “99% of them give the rest a bad name,” he quipped. John Standish, a Bureau Chief with the CDI, stressed the need for accurate and complete fraud reporting. “Provide facts, not innuendo,” he said. “It’s easier to prosecute homicide than insurance fraud,” he stated, despite the fact that 38 counties have grant money to combat the problem.

On April 27, 2005, American Technologies hosted a golf tournament and silent auction for Feed The Children at The Bridges Golf Course in San Ramon. The proceeds from the tournament and auction were used to benefit the Tsunami victims. “The disaster in Indonesia was devastating to many, and American Technologies was touched deeply by the tremendous suffering of those who survived,” Kelly Setting the Standard in the Field of Fire Investigations Serving the Insurance Industry Since 1977 Sullivan, of American Technologies explains. “Along with the generous support of sponsors from the insurance industry, donated towards the distribution of food and medicine to children and their families in the hopes of getting them started in putting their lives back together.” Over 65 golfers turned out in support of the effort, and the weather held out long enough to allow for 18 holes of play. All participants enjoyed hoer de oeuvres and cocktails following the tournament, while bidding on auction items that included a basketball signed by the Sacramento Kings team, ticket packages to Giants games, and autographed jerseys from various Warriors and Kings players.

(209) 579-9985 June 2005 Sacramento Claims Association News Network Claims Profile: Magda Michel - Enterprising her Way in the Industry By Joan Barrett, Market Share Magda Michel's mother bought a car from Maria Martinez of Enterprise Rent A Car 10 1⁄2 years ago and wondered aloud why Maria was so happy. Maria's response was that she loved her job and loved working for Enterprise and ended up selling not just the car, but the company, as well, to Magda's mother. She then wasted no time telling her daughter to apply to the company that Maria loved so much. Now Maria is Maria Martinez-Jones and a new mother, but she still loves Enterprise. Magda is still happy that she allowed Enterprise to interrupt her plans to become a teacher, and is very happy as the Marketing Manager for the Modesto Region. She covers the territory from Merced to Elk Grove to Placerville. With a personality well-suited to her role with Enterprise, Magda naturally makes friends wherever she’s found. She has become known for her high energy level, bright outlook, and thoroughly dependable and competent abilities. Her involvement and relatively fast rise within the organizations in which she’s delved illustrates the point. Magda finds time to volunteer for a raft of insurance related organizations, and is currently the Vice President of both the Mid-Valley and Modesto Claims Associations, positions she took with the stipulation that she not become president of either of them. Her purpose is to serve. In addition, she volunteers on the board of the Claims Conference of Northern California, working on the promotions committee as a voting representative of MidValley Claims. She is on the board of the Stanislaus Insurance Association and volunteers for her church. She will walk soon in the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society, where someone from her team will be walking at any given time during a 24- hour period. Magda stays in top physical and mental condition with daily exercise. That is important as she still works long hours for Enterprise. She loves her co-workers and customers just as much as Maria and her mom said that she would. An Estimate On Your Desk Within 48 Hours, Guaranteed TOLL FREE Safe Haven P.O.
