Letter from the Symposium Chair
On behalf of the IAHU Board of Directors, thank you for your registration for this event and for your ongoing support of our professional association. Taking an active role with IAHU makes you among the top 10% in our industry!
As we emerge from the COVID Pandemic, we are excited to offer this year’s symposium live and in-person. Over the day and a half event you will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the industry and learn valuable information related to how to effectively run your business to current legislative actions that will impact the industry and your clients. But we won’t stop there. In addition to the live event, we will be offering continuing education credits through virtual breakout sessions for three weeks after the symposium. This will provide an opportunity for those that may not be able to break away from the office to attend in-person or for those who may not feel comfortable yet attending live events.
We look forward to seeing you in-person in August. Thank you for your continued support of the Iowa Association of Health Underwriters.
