Hamilton/Niagara
Chapter Report
Continued
“With the success
of our CIP Society
program, funds
were provided for
an advertising
program. Four full
page advertisements
promoting the CIP
designation were
placed in local
business magazines
and the newspaper.”
The local chapter office is constantly busy with activity. The office is a designated RIBO examination
centre and Alberta licencing centre with exams being offered on a regular basis. Many local
industry organizations also rent our facilities for a variety of activities.
Our subscription campaign was a success with over $7,488 generated from our subscription
campaign. Thank you to our industry supporters.
Our chapter was pleased to participate in the National Education Week hosted by the Institute.
During this week, our chapter hosted “RIBO, Level 2 Management Course”. The opportunity to offer
this course outside of GTA was well accepted with an amazing 100% pass ratio. A number of visits
to various offices promoting the Insurance Institute’s programs were also made.
With the success of our CIP Society program, funds were provided for an advertising program. Four
full page advertisements promoting the CIP designation were placed in local business magazines
and the newspaper.
The Insurance Institute is involved in a wide range of activities. When I joined the council in
Hamilton, I had no idea all the avenues the Institute is involved with. The past two years have been
wonderful learning experience for me. Most recently, we have seen harmonization throughout the
province of Ontario with the Institute. This has allowed us to take a more holistic view of our work
at the Institute. As I step down as chair, I welcome Michelle Snowdon to this position. Her spirit will
definitely take our chapter to the next level. I also wish all Institute members much success with
their career. My final word... ”get involved”.
