Insurance Journal Forums

I'm the new personal lines manager for a commercial brokerage. I'm looking for a place to get "stuff" to share with my clients and co-workers.

"Stuff" is defined as articles and information about personal lines issues and happenings that I can "cut-and-paste" into a newsletter/e-mail format and then share with selected people.

Current examples would be the articles InsuranceJournal.com has had recently about the liability contained in having parties at your home and the one today giving advice about winter damage claims.

I do not want to violate copyright, but I'm okay with cherry-picking the valuable advice and writing my own "column" from scratch. Well, kind of from scratch.

Remember, this is for limited internal electronic distribution and is both an advice platform and marketing tool.

Any suggestions?

One source:

If your state has an "Insurance Institute" usch as Ohio does, they regularly send out or have available on their website this type of information. http://www.ohioinsurance.org/downloadable_resources.asp

I would also check the Big I and PIA websites for information. Some of those organization have newsletter services that are free or low cost.

Watch the news--I skim National Underwriter and PCI SmartBrief in addition to Insurance Journal to share with our personal lines agents--I usually find something well worth sharing every other week or so.

Thank you.
