The Independent Insurance Agents of Georgia have a series of educational events in October and November to enable agents to meet continuing education requirements.
A new Georgia Insurance Department rule, enacted last year, requires Georgia insurance agents to renew their licenses Nov. 1, instead of the previously staggered dates. Even though Nov. 1 is the renewal deadline, as in the past, agents have until Dec. 31 to meet their CE requirements.
The Ted Carleton Education Foundation, which operates the education program, has of instructor-led and on-line classes which have been offered since January and continue through the end of the year.
“A Blue Print for Gaining Traction With Prospects,” presented by Mark Satterfield, will be a key event during the Oct. 20-21 second annual Ted Carleton Sales Symposium sponsored by the IIAG Young Agents Committee in Tucker, Ga. The event will feature nine hours CE, including ethics.
The symposium will include an ethics seminar by Infinity University, Oct. 20 reception, and Oct. 21 continental breakfast. For information log on to www.iiag.org or call IIAG at (770) 458-0093 ext. 102.
IIAG has structured its AAI program differently. Agents seeking an AAI designation can take three segments on three consecutive days, for nine days during the year. The first two modules have already been held, the third will take place Oct. 26 to 28 in Doraville, Ga. “AAI 83, Agency Operations and Sales Management,” will be presented at IIAG’s main office. Each day represents seven hours of CE credits for licensed P/C agents.
The October series will be taught by Jim Bryan, the retired president of a large, successful independent agency in Georgia. Bryan has a tremendous “real-world” experience, with more than 25 years of insurance production and management experience.
Paul Saye, IIAG education coordinator, said that with new regulations taking effect this year, the benefits of having the prestigious AAI designation are now compelling. Information on the program is available from Saye at 800.878.6487 x104 or psaye@iiag.org.
