SWDS’s Larry Pomarico to Lead Reinsurance Symposium Panel
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit have announced that Larry Pomarico, senior vice president of SouthWest Dealer Services, will serve as a panel moderator at this year’s Reinsurance Symposium. The symposium will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 9, 2016, at the Venetian Palazzo in Las Vegas.
“With all of the reinsurance options available for dealers — accompanied by the ever-changing tax and compliance landscape — the Reinsurance Symposium is critical for those who wish to gain an in-depth understanding,” Pomarico said. “The ability to hear from so many experienced industry experts at the same time is a rare opportunity that should be taken advantage of.”
Pomarico’s panel, “Participation Offerings, Structures and Rewards,” will be staffed by Rob Hehr of GSFSGroup, Tim Houseberg of Delaware Tribal Financial Services, Nelson Marks’ David Kaseff, Jay Sharpnack of CNA National and Portfolio’s Graye Wolfe. Their discussion will focus on the numerous reinsurance programs available today and how agents can better assist their dealer clients in the selection process.
“We are grateful to Larry and his panelists for taking on this difficult but important task,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroommagazines. “I believe they will find a very receptive audience at Agent Summit.”
Registration for Agent Summit is now open at the event’s website as well as by phone, fax and email. Attendees who register by April 4 will enjoy a $100 discount.
