PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2010-2011<br />
2010 – 2011 was a year <strong>of</strong> change and growth for IIS.<br />
It was a year <strong>of</strong> change as our manager, Joanne Duke, retired around this time last year.<br />
We hired Maria Cowper and, even with a steep learning curve, she has done extremely<br />
well learning the position and has continued the IIS tradition <strong>of</strong> providing great service to<br />
our members.<br />
This past year was a breakthrough year for the IIS; our numbers grew in all areas.<br />
Membership hit an all time high <strong>of</strong> 1009.<br />
The <strong>Institute</strong> saw an increase in membership this past year primarily due to retirements<br />
within the industry as well as a more concentrated membership drive in cooperation with<br />
IIC. Membership over the years is as follows:<br />
2006-2007 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010 2010-2011<br />
854 904 938 893 1009<br />
This year we had 330 students registered for classes in Regina and Saskatoon an<br />
increase <strong>of</strong> 7.14% from last year. The compressed classes have been successful and well<br />
attended, however due to the increase in workloads it has been difficult for managers to<br />
have their staff gone for 6 consecutive days and IIS has been requested to <strong>of</strong>fer C11 only<br />
as a compressed class. As a result we ran our first ‘Weekend Warrior’ classes where the<br />
class has been compressed into a couple <strong>of</strong> weekends. The response from the students<br />
has been extremely positive and we look forward to continuing <strong>of</strong>fering classes in this<br />
format. Many thanks to the instructors who gave their time and expertise to help our<br />
students succeed in their education.<br />
Due to the growth <strong>of</strong> the institute, IIC agreed to provide a shared resource to assist Maria<br />
allowing her to dedicate more time to marketing our program to various organizations.<br />
Effective April 1, 2011, Carlie Noland has been working with Maria for one day a week out<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Edmonton <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
Several Career Fairs were attended this past year. IIS had a booth at the University <strong>of</strong><br />
Regina career fair in September as well as the University <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. IIS also<br />
attended a SIAST career fair in Moose Jaw in February.<br />
We continue to have a close relationship with IBAS, this past year we sponsored their golf<br />
tournament with a $10,000 Hole-in-One, and attended the IBAS Broker’s convention in<br />
Regina. We have also worked to provide a number <strong>of</strong> seminars jointly to the industry this<br />
past year – thus allowing us to service our membership jointly in a cooperative manner as<br />
opposed to a competitive one.<br />
We continued to support the Ross Barlow Memorial Blue Goose Curling Bonspiel for the<br />
second year and look to make this an annual sponsorship.<br />

We looked at our marketing <strong>of</strong> the CIP Designation and decided that a change in direction<br />
was required. For the first time, we are now advertising on digital billboards in Regina,<br />
Saskatoon and Moose Jaw. The advertising is more progressive and the locations chosen<br />
reflect the commuting routes <strong>of</strong> most pr<strong>of</strong>essionals for each city. We are hopeful that<br />
through continued advertising, the CIP brand will become much more recognized. We will<br />
continue to look at other forms <strong>of</strong> media to promote the CIP designation as the leading<br />
designation for the insurance industry.<br />
At the AGM for IIC, Karen Prychitko, was nominated and approved for the Award <strong>of</strong> Merit.<br />
The Award <strong>of</strong> Merit is the most prestigious non-academic award conferred by the Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Governors. The formal presentation was provided at our convocation ceremony in<br />
Saskatoon this past November. Karen is a tireless supporter <strong>of</strong> IIS in terms <strong>of</strong> seminar<br />
presentation and class instruction. Congratulations Karen, it is well deserved!<br />
Last year, we advised that talks were continuing with SIAST to provide an <strong>Insurance</strong><br />
Diploma program. I am pleased to advise that this has come to fruition. The program took<br />
their first 22 students this past fall. Those students took C11 during this winter semester.<br />
There are too many people to mention who worked on this initiative, but they know who<br />
they are. I have to acknowledge the financial support that was provided by SGI for this<br />
program, which was essential to ensure it moved forward, as well as to a number <strong>of</strong> the<br />
other insurers (SMI, Wawanesa and Cooperators) that came to provide support in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
work placements. With an aging industry in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> the days <strong>of</strong> ‘falling into’ the<br />
insurance industry is over and we have to actively market our industry to the next<br />
generation to attract new talent. I view this program as a vehicle to assist in sustaining a<br />
healthy and vibrant insurance industry in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>.<br />
As with every non pr<strong>of</strong>it organization in <strong>Canada</strong>, maintaining a strong and vibrant Board<br />
providing a meaningful presence to its membership is challenging. Work and family<br />
commitments are increasing, not decreasing, for most, and it takes dedication to commit to<br />
these roles that make up our board. I want to thank the IIS board for their continued<br />
diligence to the <strong>Institute</strong> and to our industry. Jennifer Meshka, Lisa Todd, Crystal<br />
Stroeder, James Toothill, Mike Hordichuk, Pat Lawlor, Brad Fraser, Lee-Ann Ross, Crystal<br />
Syrenne, and Cherie Grunert gave valuable time to serve on our Board and my thanks<br />
goes out to each one <strong>of</strong> you.<br />
I would like to thank all the employers for supporting IIS and allowing their employees the<br />
time to attend our functions, take classes or volunteer on the Council. I believe we have<br />
solidified our reputation in the insurance industry in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. IIS has become a<br />
leader among other <strong>Institute</strong>s across <strong>Canada</strong>. We are using new technology to provide<br />
seminars and courses, our membership growth leads the country, and we are providing<br />
courses in formats that better fit the lifestyles <strong>of</strong> our students. I look forward to watching us<br />
continue leading the country.<br />
Respectfully submitted by:<br />
Colin Warnecke, CIP<br />

Totals 33 36 +9.09% 308 330 +7.14%<br />
IIS experienced growth <strong>of</strong> 7.14% in students taking CIP classes despite the original<br />
forecasted decline <strong>of</strong> class enrollment for 2010-2011. The 2010-2011 total CIP students in<br />
our membership is 483 compared to 319 in 2009-2010 which is a growth <strong>of</strong> 51.4%.<br />
We successfully held a total <strong>of</strong> 36 CIP courses this year. Part <strong>of</strong> this success is due to<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering more courses both in Regina and Saskatoon. In addition, we <strong>of</strong>fered, for the first<br />
time in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> a new compressed format called ‘’ weekend warrior’’, which was a<br />
huge success. We have received numerous requests from students to continue with this<br />
format.<br />
We anticipate IIS will continue to <strong>of</strong>fer more courses and <strong>of</strong>fer many more formats to<br />
service the needs <strong>of</strong> our students. Therefore, we are optimistic that we will continue to see<br />
growth.<br />
Instructors for the 2010-2011 term includes<br />
Regina - Karen Prychitko, Bill Bearman, Susan Fedyck, Erin McMahon, Maureen<br />
McWillams, Kim Graff, Carey Cimmeck<br />

our industry stronger.<br />
Exams<br />
Government issued photo id was a requirement to write the exam which was implemented<br />
for exams in December 2010. Exam sessions went smooth.<br />

Convocation<br />
Our convocation ceremony took place in Saskatoon this past November. This evening<br />
event began with cocktail reception, followed by dinner and the awards ceremony. We<br />
used pr<strong>of</strong>essional programs ordered through IIC and added a touch <strong>of</strong> class by having a<br />
harpist play during reception and supper. It was a very nice event! A total <strong>of</strong> 93 people<br />
were in attendance.<br />
SIAST Initiative<br />
IIS has entered into an exciting venture with SIAST. The program was launched in<br />
January <strong>of</strong> 2011 which initially brought in 22 full time students. I wish to thank SGI for the<br />
support received and I look forward to receiving support from the other industry partners in<br />
the near future.<br />
In closing, on behalf <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Insurance</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, I would like to thank the<br />
instructors, proctors, students and the Academic committee for their help and support in<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering classes throughout <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> this past year. I also wish to extend our<br />
continued gratitude to <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Government <strong>Insurance</strong> for allowing the use <strong>of</strong> their<br />
facilities for our examinations.<br />
