After the May 2007 ACORD/LOMA forum, Greg Maciag, president of ACORD, reported on his blog an executive from a regional insurer offered this comment about the event: "Thanks for making the small firm feel unwelcome."

o Is ACORD relevant to the regional insurer community?

o And, if so, what role can and should the CIO play in realizing benefits from ACORD?
