SSP and NSSTA 2010 Annual Meetings - 2

S2KM's Managing Director, Patrick Hindert, attended portions of two annual meetings this past week in Washington D.C.

• The Society of Settlement Planners (SSP) - where he moderated a discussion about "structured settlement public policy"; and
• The National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA).

A prior S2KM blog post identified speakers and topics for both the SSP and NSSTA 2010 meetings.

For prior S2KM reporting about SSP, NSSTA and other settlement consulting professional associations, see S2KM's public read-only structured settlement wiki.

This S2KM blog post continues S2KM's reporting and begins S2KM's analysis of the 2010 SSP and NSSTA meetings - both of which S2KM views as strategically important for the future of structured settlements.

• Improvement and growth - What ideas and business models will improve and grow the structured settlement industry?
• Leadership - Who are the industry leaders? How will they improve and grow the industry?
• The Future - What is the first generation structured settlement legacy? Who are the future leaders?
