THE AGRIBUSINESS CONFERENCE

March 6, 2006

The Agribusiness Conference, hosted by the Insurance Skills Center, is filed for continuing education credits in more than 30 states. Conference locations for 2006 include: March 15-16 Sacramento, Calif.; May 22-23 Hartford, Conn.; June 26-23 Denver, Colo.; July 17-18 San Antonio, Texas; Sept. 27-28 Richmond, Va.; and Oct. 9-10 Des Moines, Iowa.

At the conference, attendees can qualify for the Agribusiness and Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS) Designation program. The purpose of the AFIS Designation is to properly train underwriters and broker/agents on the complexities of the insurance farm arena and to reward them for obtaining a measurable level of education and training on farm and agricultural risks through completion of three exams.

The AFIS designation was created by Insurance Skills Center and the IBA West Agribusiness Committee. The AFIS designation was inspired by Dr. Emmett J. Vaughan, who provided guidance on curriculum and program development.
