Fellowship of Construction Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Development (FoCKED)
Networking for Pacifc Northwest (PNW) based insurance claims professionals and contractors
Networking group for local contractors who specialize in insurance claims response and repairs, based on the West Coast.
Selective (not exclusive) Fellowship.
Gather with like minded pros who agree to contribute to this concept and do our best to keep things professionally focused - Construction Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Development.
Elevate our Construction Knowledge.
This is primarily for insurance related work (selective, but not exclusive). By joining this group you agree to give as much as you get from the group - in fact we encourage, “Give first and the get (your return on investment) will develop naturally.”
If you want to hard sell our members join another networking group. We will share in the responsibilities for hosting, developing, and sharing relevant content, and agreed costs (if necessary).
Inspire our Entrepreneurial Development.
Ideas, Processes, and Execution. Help each other grow. There is no competition and good competition is the best thing for our industry(s). Come prepared to share the lessons learned from your failures more than you brag about your successes.
