Your roadmap to success begins on Wednesday afternoon and continues through Saturday with the breakout sessions! Remember, it's what you learn after you know it all that really counts and FAIA's breakout sessions not only help you meet the continuing education requirements, but these sessions will help you sharpen your skills and increase your knowledge, thereby raising your level of productivity, growth, and profit. Plus, the real payoff is that FAIA's breakout sessions are fun, too! Here's a glimpse of some of the sessions we have planned.
Insurance Pot Holes Along The Road To Recovery with David Thompson, CPCU, AAI, API. As many consumers traveled down the road to recovery over the past few years, they knowingly and unknowingly created significant "pot holes" in their insurance protection. As the recovery is underway for some, it's time to step back and see what changes need to be made to coverages that were dropped, decreased, or neglected. Your "Chief Truck Driver" along the roadway is FAIA's David Thompson who is licensed (and insured) to drive you down the roadway and help avoid these pot holes. Just a few of the pot holes David will look at are the lack of uninsured motorist coverage, undervaluation on property policies, auto med-pay coverage, the lack of ordinance and law coverage, workers' compensation (who counts and who doesn't), vacancy issues on personal and commercial lines policies, "favorable lease" pitfalls, "boomerang kids," and much more. Not only will you learn to avoid insurance pot holes, you may also earn prizes from a truck stop along the "Road to Recovery!" "Learn and earn." Sounds like a great day! This session has been approved by the DFS for three (3) hours of continuing education credits (intermediate) CE #75254, CE0220—General Lines Property & Casualty; CE #75255, CE0324—Adjuster Optional.
Dividing The Insurance Dollar with Jay Williams. As an agent, you not only sell insurance, you're also an insurance consumer. As such, you must wonder from time to time where your insurance dollar goes. This class will not only help you with the answer to that question, it will also give you the information to answer it for your customers. Jay Williams, president of Bankers Underwriters, Inc., and Bankers Employer Services, Inc., will slice the "insurance dollar pie" and serve it to you. And what happens when you run out of pie? Come to the class and find out. This session has been approved by the DFS for two (2) hours of continuing education credits (intermediate) CE #73177, CE0220—General Lines Property & Casualty.
The Truth and Trauma of a Hurricane Insurance Claim—Through the Adjuster's Eyes with Mark Phillips, Risk Assessment & Transfer International. Examining the fiduciary and liability exposures of officers and directors in a condominium association as displayed in the Case Study—Ms. Sally Somebody. The large loss adjuster displays how poor preparation of insurance documents, building records, and shoddy board performance produces a catastrophic denial of coverage. Every agent needs to thoroughly understand the adjusting protocols and methods used in the large loss claims process. Understanding the "Duties of the Insured in the Event of Loss" and how these loss adjusting requirements bind the insured to crucial levels of performance after a large loss will equip you to advise and prepare your clients ahead of catastrophic loss events.
Understanding the OIR 1802 Form Questions with William H. York, president WHYork Consulting. The OIR 1802 Form is used to identify building features that may qualify homeowners for Wind Mitigation Credits. There have been many questions by agents, homeowners, inspectors and others regarding the "correct" answers to the questions. This class will review some of the most common problems encountered by agents when dealing with homeowners, inspectors, and underwriting departments. This class material was extracted from the material used in a seven-hour inspector class, which has won support from several major carriers and a number of smaller ones. Come, bring your questions and get them answered by one of the most experienced individuals involved with the "Form."
Doing the Right Thing with FAIA Instructor Bill Perkins, AAI. It could be said that ethics is the pursuit of the "right thing." But how do you know it's right? Are there criteria; and if so, what are they? This three-hour ethics course is meant to explore the issue of doing the right thing. Join us. It may be just the right thing to do. This class has also been approved by IRMI® for Reaccreditation Credit for those with a CRIS designation. Note: This class was taught in 2010.

Information will be provided to describe what laws were passed, what legislation was defeated, and what the future may hold for upcoming legislative initiatives. Discussions will include how the legislation will affect you, your clients, and your agency.
E&O 2011—Learning from the Past with David Thompson, CPCU, AAI, API. By looking at what "went south" in the past, we are able to learn how to prevent the same mistake again; that's the focus of this errors and omissions class. Over the span of four hours, we will look at actual E&O claims, dig into the issue, and make recommendations on how to avoid the same problem again. Using actual (anonymous) claims, we will focus on what could have been done differently to avoid a future claim. Come prepared to share your "horror stories" as well as "success stories," too. This session has been approved by the DFS for four (4) hours of continuing education credits (intermediate) CE #75060, CE – Generic Life, General Lines, and Title.
Contractual Liability and Additional Insureds with David M. Sanborn, CPCU, president of Risk & Insurance Education, Inc. It seems like everyone is trying to transfer their liabilities to someone else. Often individuals and businesses enter into contracts and agreements with others. These agreements frequently require one party to become responsible for many things via indemnification agreements and other means. Additional insured endorsements are generally required. Some of these assumptions/transfers are insured or insurable and some of them are not! Often the agent/broker/company person must react quickly and often becomes concerned about what has really happened!? This session will be spent on bringing you up to date with the latest trends and changes in the areas of "risk transfers," including changes with the 12/07 CGL and the 7/04 Additional Insured endorsements.
