Comp Laude® is the brainchild of the late David Depaolo. Depaolo, the founder and president of workcompcentral, wanted to change the narrative on workers’ compensation, and establish a platform to recognize the good work that goes on in our industry. We here at WorkersCompensation.com fully embrace and support that effort. 

The workers’ compensation industry has no trouble finding its share of bad news. Comp Laude® is an opportunity to recognize the unsung heroes who are working to change the industry for the better, as well as those who are going above and beyond in restoring the lives of injured workers. It is a chance to create and promote our own good news, and we should all be on board with that.

The 2019 Comp Laude® Awards and Gala will be held at the Paséa Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach, CA from September 23-25, 2019. The event promoters will tell you that it “aims to change the narrative of workers’ compensation to a more positive dialogue and bring all stakeholders to the table to participate in that conversation.”  

It is a worthy goal. You should nominate, and then attend. Conference passes can be purchased on www.complaude.com.

We’ll see you in September.
