The discussion will include tips for building a team based recovery strategy, building and sustaining trust in and among the coalition, maintaining open channels of communication and balancing the group membership dynamic while maintaining individual identity. The panel will provide insights, both good and bad, from lessons learned and how the subrogation industry can improve upon coalition building in the future. Although the concept of working as a team sounds easy, many industries have yet to accomplish constructive coalition building. Come learn why the subrogation industry, especially in the wildfire setting, has been so successful in fire case coalitions.
