A new Web site promoting the upcoming user conference for the National Association of S.I.S. Partner Agents (NASPA) was recently unveiled. The site, www.pride-in-partnerships.com, details the educational agenda of the national conference to be held April 28-30 at the Columbus Hilton at Easton in Columbus, Ohio.
“This conference brings a host of new topics that I think will be of interest to all users of the SEMCI PARTNER® agency management system,” Mike Hofmeister, president of NASPA, commented. “Our conference committee has been planning this event for the past six months and we will feature a blend of national industry speakers and speakers from our membership on a host of topics important to all insurance agency employees,” Hofmeister added.
Three educational “tracks” are provided. The RED TRACK for new SEMCI PARTNER® users will cover topics aimed at a first level understanding of the agency automation system. The WHITE TRACK covers educational topics for advanced PARTNER users and the BLUE TRACK features topics key to insurance agency owners and managers.
Insurance automation consultant Steve Anderson will be the conference keynote speaker. His topic “It’s Not Magic, It’s Management” will kick off the educational portion of the conference. Anderson is the publisher of the TARR Report (The Agency Automation Report). A panel of insurance industry leaders will also be present in a Town Hall forum to discuss the future of agency/company automation issues.
The new Web site also contains additional information about the conference, including an on-line registration form for those who want to register electronically.
