Testimonials

As a self-employed broker working out of a home office, I look forward to the meetings each month to get out and mingle with my peers. I learn more useful business information at these meetings than at most other CE events.


I enjoy and really appreciate access to the quality information provided.


It is a great help and resource.


The CE Credit Seminars are time well spent and I have encouraged others to join and attend.


I think the meetings are fantastic, it helps us with issues that insurance companies are sometimes not aware of and learn about how we can help our clients overall.


I have learned a lot from the sessions that I attend and it has helped me grow in my role.
