NASBP Celebrates Successful 2024 Winter Surety School Session

In January a sold-out Winter Surety School Session with 168 students from across the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland kicked off the new year with clear insights into the world of surety when they attended the 2024 NASBP William J. Angell Surety School, held in Dallas, TX.

During every NASBP School session, students in each class are asked to nominate the most outstanding pupil (MOP) in their respective team. The chosen MOP from each team is awarded a special memento football signed by their classmates and faculty.
