The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association announced it will hold “underwriting basics workshops” in various locations throughout the state. TWIA noted that these workshops will help new agents/agency personnel gain the knowledge that is essential for the successful submission of applications to TWIA. They also are good refresher courses for experienced employees.
Instructors are Randy Wipf and Kay Hohmann. Each workshop will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and end by 12:00 noon. Sign in begins at 7:30 a.m. with coffee and pastries.
Four hours of CETIA (continuing education credit) are approved for completion of the workshop. Pre-registration is requested, with a pre-registration fee of $20.00 per person being charged.
A registration form is available through the TWIA Web site at www.twia.org/news.html.
The registration form and payment must be postmarked on or before March 31, 2006, to secure the preferred $20.00 per person rate. A registration fee of $30.00 per person will be charged for applications postmarked after March 31, 2006, or when registering on the day of the seminar.
There will be no refund for cancellations after April 14, 2006. Seating will be limited, so sign up at the door will be on a first come/first served basis.
