Thank you to the industry executives for their time and support.
Comments and suggestions always are welcome. Please send e-mails to Stephanie Robichaux at srobichaux@surety.org.
Time to Update Your LSA Directory Listings
Please visit the LSA Directory to review the roster of officers for your local surety association, and submit the updated contact information to Stephanie Robichaux of SFAA at srobichaux@surety.org by December 31, 2012. If your LSA holds elections after this deadline, please let us know when we should expect to receive your update.
It is important to maintain up-to-date contact information for your officers, because hundreds of visitors to the SIO website access this directory throughout the year looking for local contacts for their surety questions or concerns.
Change of addresses and/or new officer information can be submitted throughout the year by contacting Stephanie Robichaux at srobichaux@surety.org or (202) 778-3629.
2012 SIO Awards
SIO wants to thank everyone who has been promoting surety throughout the year. Submit as many promotional activities as possible before the year ends. In early 2013, nominations will be open for the 2012 SIO Awards. SIO looks forward to recognizing you for your hard work. For entry information and criteria, please visit the SIO Awards page.
