NABIP Iowa Annual Symposium

Letter from the Symposium Chair

MARCIE STROUSEPresident-Elect, Symposium Chairmarcie@capitol-benefits.com

On behalf of the NABIP Iowa Board of Directors, thank you for your registration to this event, and for your ongoing and continued support of our professional association. Taking an active role with NABIP Iowa 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, carrier and vendor updates, and 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 additional continuing education credits through virtual breakout sessions in the 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 April. Thank you for your continued support of the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Providers Iowa Chapter.
