Work Comp Analysis Group Reaches 10,000-member Milestone

St. Louis (July 20, 2011)—The Work Comp Analysis Group (WCAG) announced today that it has reached the milestone of 10,000 members. The free resource, which was founded in late 2008, is the largest online discussion group dedicated exclusively to workers' compensation issues on LinkedIn.

WCAG is widely recognized in the industry for the quality and variety of the content on its discussion board. Members in the group reflect a wide range of professions including risk managers, adjusters, attorneys, regulators, medical case managers, physicians, and other professionals who serve the industry.

WCAG now has subgroups for Canada, Australia, and the National Workers' Compensation and Disability Conference®. The group also has an industry jobs board, Twitter feed (@wcanalysisgroup) and a resource center that features over 30 industry blog feeds and links to the rules and statutes for all 50 states.

Mark Walls, Assistant Vice President - Claims for Safety National and the founder of the group, credited the members for making it such a success. "The strength of this group is the knowledge of our members and their willingness to share information with others. It is also an outstanding way to network with people from around the nation and outside the United States who are dealing with workers' compensation issues."
