The NASBP Virtual Seminar program is now in its fourth year. We have offered over 65 live telephone seminars to NASBP members, affiliates, and associates and more than 9,000 individuals have participated. In 2012 we are offering at least 20 seminars. If you have not yet participated, I recommend you consider doing so. Under the direction of the Professional Development Committee, NASBP Virtual Seminars focus on timely, critical topics of broad interest to our industry. Upcoming Seminars are listed below.
Each Seminar is one hour in length, including time for Q&A. Supporting documentation is provided for reference to supplement the topic under discussion. We are pleased to offer an impressive line up of presenters, including but not limited to surety professionals, attorneys, academics, and consultants.
You can register for one seminar or multiple seminars. At $69 per phone line this program is priced to make it accessible to all NASBP members and affiliates. We encourage you to gather as many people around a speaker-phone in your office for each presentation to maximize your organization’s benefit. If you cannot be in the office the day of the seminar, you can easily participate from your cell phone or receive a recording of the presentation soon afterwards.
As we face business challenges, NASBP seeks to add value to your membership by communicating timely information on issues, trends, and strategies. I believe we should all consider making Virtual Seminars part of our organization’s plan for success.
Sincerely,
Carl Edward Dohn, Jr., NASBP President
