Bowron, Stoll to Close the GAP at PALS 2016
LAS VEGAS — Actuarial experts Lee Bowron of Kerper Bowron LLC and Chris Stoll of Allstate Dealer Services will co-host a discussion about GAP losses at the upcoming P&A Leadership Summit, organizers announced Monday. The two-day event begins on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at Paris Las Vegas.
The highly anticipated session, “Current Trends Affecting GAP Losses,” will begin at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30.
“We look forward to discussing factors that are impacting GAP results, such as financing trends, used-car prices and instabilities in the underlying private passenger insurance market,” Bowron said.
“Lee and Chris bring years of experience and hard-won expertise to our event,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of P&A magazine. “It’s an important topic, and we simply could not have asked for a more qualified duo to take it on.”
Registration for the 2016 P&A Leadership Summit is open now. Attendees who register by August 5 will save $100. To inquire about sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or at 727-947-4027.
