Surety School, which took place in Charlotte, NC, where NASBP had Level I, Level II and Commercial Surety School classes! Throughout the week, the NASBP faculty of experienced surety professionals guided over 120 students from across the U.S. and Canada through a rigorous and engaging educational program!
Most Outstanding Pupils (MOPs)
In addition to providing an immense amount of educational content, the School also fosters strong bonds between students and faculty. At the close of this 3-to-5-day educational experience, students are asked to select among their classmates the Most Outstanding Pupil (MOP) who will be given the momento (a football) signed by all the students and faculty in their class. Receiving the coveted football in Level I Red Team was Dan Schulze (pictured below) of Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions, Dallas, TX. The Level I Yellow Team chose Tanner Tregeagle (pictured below) of Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions, West Jordan, UT. Pictured below. The Level II Blue Team selected Hamilton James of McGriff, Durham, NC; and Level II Green Team selected Matt Eperesi (pictured below) of Seubert & Associates, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA. The Commercial Surety School students chose Charles Adams of George Adams & Co Insurance Agency, Missouri City, TX. Congratulations to all these outstanding students!
During this summer’s Level II program, we also had our first virtual Level II Lunch Panel presentation with an exciting lineup of panelists from NASBP’s 5-15 Leadership Committee sharing their thoughts
and interacting with our in-person audience from their respective offices. The panelists included Jill Tucker of Insurance Underwriters, Ltd., Monica Donatelli of IMA, Inc., Devin Moore of Moore Surety Bonds Agency, and David Cayemitte of The Cayemitte Group.
Faculty Service Awards
As a small way of saying “thank you” for their hard work and dedication to NASBP, faculty members are given a crystal apple in recognition of every five years of service. This summer, two faculty members received service awards. Dawn Nevill of IAT Surety received an award for five years of service and Ralph Pulver of Travelers received an award for 30 years of service! Congratulations and thank you for your many years of service to NASBP and the surety industry!
