Still time to participate in the 2015 Program Business Study!

The 5th Annual State of Program Business Study is underway. The study seeks information from program administrators and insurance carriers. This year’s study includes a special focus on data collection, analytics, and new program development. Results will provide valuable tools to assist with your future program business planning. Make sure your agency/company is represented.

All survey responses are confidential. Only Advisen will have access to the raw data, and it will only be used in composite with others to provide an overall picture. The results of this study will be discussed at the 15th Annual Summit (Oct. 26-28).

The study was designed with your busy schedule in mind and is respectful of your time. If you have not yet completed the survey, we encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience.

Contact us if you need the survey link sent to your attention again.

Finding markets for small programs has been identified by our members as a significant problem. This webinar discusses how Lloyd’s markets, recently admitted as members of the Association, plan to address these capacity gaps. The Association’s exclusive London Broker, Tysers, lays the groundwork for accessing Lloyd’s/London Markets as a program resource, and Lloyd’s America provides a blueprint for becoming a Lloyd’s Coverholder.
