Level III School Inaugural Session August 6 – 9 at Westin Denver Downtown in Denver, Colorado

NASBP is proud to introduce the newest addition to the NASBP Surety School–the premier educational event for surety professionals, the Angell-Curtin Advanced Surety School – Level III.

For 40 years, the NASBP school has provided students with the opportunity to learn the business from the top surety producers and underwriters in the country. Now NASBP will offer an advanced curriculum to address the increasingly complex challenges that surety professionals face today. The new school is named for two of the pioneering leaders who helped shape the NASBP educational mission, William J. Angell and John “Jack” J. Curtin, Jr. The new school endeavors to carry on their vision of offering world-class educational opportunities for surety professionals.

Under the direction of the NASBP President and Executive Committee, a group of dedicated industry leaders has spent the last year developing and refining the curriculum of this new school.
