Summer is wrapping up, kids are headed back to school, and time is running out to make plans to join your NASBP colleagues in Nashville, September 13-15, and in Las Vegas October 18-20, for the 2023 NASBP Fall Meetings. Complete agenda information and updated attendee lists are now available online for the East and West Meetings.

Both events will focus on session content to lay the foundation for the April 2024 Annual Meeting Keynote Speaker in Austin next spring—Andy Fastow, the former CFO of Enron Corporation. At the Fall Meetings we will hear from Sherron Watkins, known as the “Whistleblower” of Enron, who will discuss ethics and leadership and the lessons to be learned from the financial collapse.

Following Watkin’s presentation, attendees will hear from an expert panel that will explore how the surety industry was involved in this grand debacle. This panel will include the viewpoints of underwriters, reinsurers, producers, and attorneys. For more information on all the sessions for each meeting, visit the meeting websites.

As always, the Fall Meetings will offer excellent networking opportunities. Don’t miss out on the optional events, with a downtown Nashville food and history tour at the East Meeting that was recently rated #14 out of all food and culinary experiences in the U.S.! The West Meeting in Las Vegas will feature a Golf Tournament at the TPC Las Vegas golf course, which is nearby.

New for 2023, both meetings will feature a joint effort between NASBP and Women in Surety (WIS), generously sponsored by Travelers Bond: SHE Golfs Clinics will be held on the opening afternoon (Wednesday) of the East Meeting and the West Meeting at nearby golf courses. All registered attendees (both women and men) of the meetings are welcome to sign up for this complimentary event. See the meeting websites for more information on the SHE Golf Clinics and to sign up. Space is limited.

We hope to see you this Fall!
