NASBP is excited to announce the introduction of a new membership class available to individuals who are retired surety professionals.
This new membership class, Retired Surety Professionals, marks the first category of membership for individual persons, not firms or companies, in NASBP and was created to maintain connections between the NASBP community and retired bond producers and underwriters. Retired surety professionals who were at one time employed by a NASBP surety agency or an Affiliate surety company are eligible to join. See the NASBP brochure describing the benefits of being a NASBP Retired Surety Professional.
Retired individual producers and underwriters who are interested in keeping ties with NASBP are too valuable a resource for them not to have a pathway to channel and contribute their surety industry skills, expertise, and experience gained over their careers. Those joining Retired Surety Professionals will be able to participate in the life of the NASBP community, contributing their considerable knowledge and energy to help NASBP with its mission of advancing the interests of surety bonding.
"NASBP has been an integral part of my career. During my first year of retirement, I was a bit ambivalent but by year two, I was losing touch and getting curious. By joining NASBP as a retired professional, I now have easy access to publications, email notifications, and industry developments. And the fee is reasonable."
