WEBINAR | APRIL 16 | FREE for members Most insurance agencies believe their biggest risks come from cyber threats or compliance requirements. In reality, the greater risk is what hasn’t been identified. Join Walter Contreras of Motiva Networks as he explores the hidden gaps that exist in many IT environments—not because businesses are negligent, but because those gaps are rarely uncovered or validated.
WEBINAR | APRIL 22 | 3 CE (Diversity, Laws/Regs and Ethics) & 1 CE (Flood) Get the basic four CE requirements in one webinar. Join Jim Lombardo, Tim Dodge, and Sue Keegan as they cover ethics, diversity and inclusion, insurance law, and flood.
WEBINAR | APRIL 23 | 3 CE Personal lines agents often don’t hear from claims personnel about the value of broadened coverage until the unfortunate reality of substandard coverage presents itself during the adjustment process. Veteran claims adjuster Nikki Sherrill created this program to help personal lines agents understand commonly overlooked policy limitations and methods to broaden coverage, which can save the insured (and agent!) from financial harm.
WEBINAR | APRIL 28 | 3 CE This course reviews many examples of situations agents face that may test ethical resolve and E&O management practices. Agents who take this course will learn some coverage lessons, better understand the critical functions of a successful agency operation, and be more prepared to handle difficult situations commonly faced by insurance agencies.
