We hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving! We are now kicking off December and racing towards the holidays. In this week's Big I Buzz, we are discussing a great way to give back, a new OCI bulletin about license renewal notifications and this week's Agency Leadership Webinar. 

Emerging Leaders American Family Children's Hospital Donation

Yesterday was Giving Tuesday and we have a great way to give back to those in need. The IIAW Emerging Leaders are making a donation to the Chlid LIfe Department Fund to purchase items for patients throughout the new year. Last year, the Emerging Leaders Committee collected gifts for children receiving care at the Children's Hospital during the holidays. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the hospital cannot accept in-kind gifts, so instead they'll be donating to the Child LIfe Department Fund instead. They are almost to their donation goal, and if you are able to donate, please click here to help. 

OCI Bulletin: Moving to Electronic License/Registration Renewal Notifications - February 1, 2021

Beginning on February 1, 2021, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) will send license renewal notifications only by email, rather than the current practice of sending renewal notifications via email and U.S. Mail. If your license/registration expires on or after March 31, 2021, you will only receive an electronic renewal notification at your business email address. You should check your licensing/registration information using the SBS portal here to ensure that all your contact information including your business email is accurate and up-to-date. 

Agency Leadership Webinar Series: E&O Claim Trends

Join us at 10 a.m. on Friday, December 4th for our next Agency Leadership Webinar, E&O Claim Trends. We'll be joined by Donna Asta, Vice President and Claims Expert at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. Donna will discuss many COVID-related topics, including what types of cases the courts are seeing from an E&O perspective, claims that are being made and when to report a claim to the E&O carrier.
