April Meeting Registration Page

You are never too old for some fun. No matter where I am, I love to laugh and joke around. In March, I forgot to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day and was actually pinched for it by a co-worker. I recently read about a business closing and immediately thought it was an early April Fool’s joke. Although April Fool’s Day is an unofficial holiday, it is enjoyed by many. I am concerned about what my colleagues have in store for me on April 1st but I look forward to having a little fun at work. Hopefully without any pinching this time!

Our March ethics meeting was a change of pace from our past March meeting format. Instead of a half day meeting with continuing education credit, we went to DMACC Bistro in Ankeny for dinner and heard from Russ Sporer about ethics. The meeting was well received, with good food and an opportunity to build relationships. I am looking forward to our April meeting speaker, Dean Brooks, who will be sharing his thoughts and knowledge on the Certificate of Insurance. We will be at a great location, Glen Oaks, on the 19th for lunch and I hope you will be able to join us. [click to continue…]

April 2015 President’s Message

We’ve experienced a few really nice days of weather lately, so I’m hoping Spring is upon us!

With the arrival of Spring, it’s time for our chapter to be recognized for our achievements in 2014. The chapter has received the Circle of Excellence Gold with Distinction for the 12th consecutive year. I’d like to thank and congratulate past President, Erin Osier, for her leadership and service to the Iowa Chapter. Thank you to all the volunteers involved for making our chapter truly one of the best. We are proud to carry on the tradition of excellence. [click to continue…]

On February 19, nearly 90 CPCU’s attended our meeting at Glen Oaks Country Club. We heard from a panel of individuals, Greg LaMair, Beth Orr, and Trent Middendorf, on “Agent Perspectives”.

The panel was moderated by Bob Skow, CPCU. The panel and moderator provided great insights on topics such as relationship building, educating and retaining younger workers, and challenges faced by the insurance industry. Thank you to everyone who attended.

March is Ethics Month for the CPCU Society. More than 20 years ago, the CPCU Society helped create Ethics Awareness Month to focus attention on this important topic each year. Ethics is a critical component of the CPCU designation, and we should always keep in mind the nine canons that make up the CPCU Professional Code of Ethics. We strive to hold ethics in the forefront of our minds, and have a responsibility to be ethical business leaders in our workplace and in our communities. Additional information about Ethics Day registration can be found on page 4 of this month’s ChapterGram. [click to continue…]
