All roads lead to the Leadership Forum! Make plans now to join other mutual insurance industry leaders in Des Moines, Iowa, for the 2008 NAMIC Leadership Forum and PFMM courses - Underwriting & Claims Module on April 15-17. This year we've combined two valuable educational events into one great opportunity.

The Leadership Forum is designed for managers and leaders of farm mutual insurance companies. Sessions will include topics focused on leadership, company operations, board relations, strategic and succession planning, and case studies presented by member company representatives. The PFMM courses provide education and information on vital issues that will benefit both the new and experienced farm mutual manager in the areas of leadership, financial management, underwriting, and claims. Go online to learn more about the Professional Farm Mutual Manager (PFMM) designation. This 12-hour module emphasizes the essential management topic of Underwriting and Claims.
