Structured Settlement 2009 Strategic Analysis

ME has begun a mid-year 2009 strategic analysis of the structured settlement industry. This analysis includes attending and reporting about 2009 structured settlement professional stakeholder meetings plus continuing conversations with structured settlement industry leaders.
To organize and publish ME's findings and analysis, ME is developing, and plans to publish and update, a related public wiki titled "Structured Settlements 2009". Here is a preview of this ME public wiki home page.
