The educational program highlights a variety of topics relevant to managing both a workers’ compensation program and individual claims, as well as the state of legislation overall. “This year’s symposium includes some new presenters and topics as well as updates on issues that are applicable to our members and their agency’s workers’ compensation program,” said Jeff Rush, workers’ compensation program manager.

Schedule highlights include:

• Defending Presumptive Claims with defense attorney Giovanni Valencia and applicant’s attorney Adam Dombchik
• Using Investigations in HR Matters with the City of Poway Human Resources and Risk Management Director Jodene Dunphy
• 2026 Research and Legislative Update with President of the California Workers’ Compensation Institute Gideon Baum

The Symposium promises to be informative and engaging, offering attendees the opportunity to meet members of our claims team at Athens Administrators and some of our panel attorneys.

An email will be sent to members involved in workers’ compensation for their agency once registration opens. For more information about participating in the Symposium, please contact Jeff Rush by email or at (562) 467-8707.
