Mid-Year Meeting and Trade-Show a success

Almost 80 people attended the Annual Mid-Year Meeting and Mini Trade Show of the Utah Association of Independent Insurance Agents on October 15 at the Red Lion Hotel in Salt Lake City. E&O training was conducted by Mike Tingey of Insurance Network LC. A total of 6 CE credits were earned by participants - 3 credits can be used for ethics. During lunch, the UAIIA Board discussed some of the benefits of our membership in the Big "I". Many of the sponsors provided door prizes. Lisa Birrell of SentryWest Insurance received the Young Agent door prize - free registration to the 2009 UAIIA Convention at Zermatt Resort in Midway, UT.

Mid-Year Meeting and Trade-Show Registration

Hello Young Agents:

Just a reminder of the upcoming Mid-Year Meeting & Mini Trade Show. This event was started by our young agents and continues to be hosted by the Young Agents of the Utah Association of Independent Insurance Agents.

Attached is the flyer for your convenience. You can earn some CE while attending this function – and if you do not need the hours, you will still benefit from the E&O training that will be offered. Please forward this flyer to others in your offices – all are invited to attend (not just young agents).

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Kind regards,

Jon
