The regional education team provides a monthly education offering email to each chapter president or education chair. As we kick off the fall, we are in process of updating our contact list to ensure we connect with the right committee leads and local leadership. We also will share our monthly newsletter with the marketing team in Region VII. The ACR program is in high demand as is the CLP and CLP-A. Additionally, we continue to back the Train the Trainer.
We send out this email communication by the 10th of each month. In addition, we are collaborating with the other regional education chairs to confirm we are including all the classes offered in all the regions. This shared information gives more opportunity for our members to work toward a certification, stay current with insurance topics, and enhance their insurance knowledge. Virtual and continuing education classes are useful to all members.
Our goal is to provide the most current educational offerings each month to our region and to share educational resources between regional education chairs.

Hello Region VII Members,
A huge thank you to Angie and Sorah for their help in updating the Region VII website. It is a refreshed website with a lot of important information for our members. Please visit the website often. iaipregion7.org
Now is the perfect time to update your IAIP resume so you will be ready to apply for an award. There is a Member Achievement Record form on the website that is beneficial in keeping track of all you do. There are so many members, including myself, that are willing to help you with your submission. If you don’t qualify for a particular award, perhaps you know another member that does. Encourage them to apply.
A IAIP Marketing Hot Sheet is being sent to all members at the beginning of every month. If you are not receiving the Hot Sheet please take a few minutes to log into your IAIP profile and make sure your contact email is correct. If your employer blocks certain outside emails, consider setting up an email account just for IAIP information. We don’t want you to miss anything regarding your membership benefits.
Your marketing team is always available to assist with any questions you may have. Let us know the dates of events so we may post it on our Region VII website calendar and our social media pages. New designation, industry recognition or awards? We would like to promote your accomplishments as well.

Greetings from your Region VII Membership Team,
Hopefully, everyone is ready for the heat to end and embrace some nice fall weather along with your PSL.
GREAT NEWS -- IAIP will be having a new Membership Contest which will be announced soon. Be on the lookout for details from International to be released once all is finalized.
Please make sure you are keeping your IAIP Profiles up to date so that you receive the latest updates and details from IAIP as well as having our members know the best way to contact you.
Our team continues to reach out and contact members that have not renewed, however, should your association wish a copy of your roster or directory list, please let me know. You can also find these items on the IAIP website at any time. A reminder to also make sure you are talking IAIP to folks in our industry at trade shows, other association meetings and mixers, as to why you are a member and to why THEY should be a member as well. We all need to be at the front of the line when it comes to recruiting.
If any local association is having a membership drive, or special events, please get your flyers sent in so that we can be sure they are put on the Regional Calendar. Sarah Jane, Kim Cameron and I are here to help wherever we can. Just reach out to one of us with questions, suggestions or ideas, and together we can watch our membership grow in the 24-25 term.
Looking forward to Region VII growing in 2024.

What is your favorite season?
I enjoy all the seasons, but fall is my favorite for a few reasons. Firstly, the mornings and evenings are crisp and cool, perfect for snuggling by a fire or donning a cozy sweater.
Secondly, the leaves change color to glorious shades of red, yellow, and orange. And lastly, there’s the decorating and fun of Halloween. I like to dress like a witch and welcome (aka scare) the trick-or-treaters. For the teenagers, I ask for a joke before providing candy. For the accompanying adults, it’s adult beverages, red or white wine, seltzer, or prosecco.
Do you carve pumpkins on Halloween? How about carving out time to volunteer with IAIP? There are virtual course moderator positions available. Check out the IAIP calendar of events for courses and more https://www.internationalinsuranceprofessionals.org/events/event_list.asp
You’re invited to the virtual Spooktacular Happy Hour, Monday, October 28 th at 5:30pm PT – please come join the fun and invite a friend (costumes encouraged) -https://iaipregion7.org/calendar/2024/10/28/iaip-region-vii-virtual-spooktacular-happy-hour
Whatever your favorite season, please have yourself a fabulous fall.
