DITTMAN APPOINTED TO WORKERS’ COMP BOARD (04/01/2009)
Gov. Chris Gregoire has appointed Larry Dittman as the business representative on the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals, the body that decides administrative appeals in workers’ compensation, workplace safety, and related cases. Nominated by AWB, Dittman comes to the board from Integrated Claims Management, Inc., a company that assists in the management of claims for self-insured employers and retrospective ratings groups. Prior to his work at ICM, Dittman managed the workers’ comp program at Swedish Health Services for nearly 20 years. He replaces Cal Dickinson, who passed away unexpectedly last October.
