EDUCATION Director - Andrea gable-setterstrom

Happy New Year Region VII

I am hopeful to be able to present classes soon.  It would be my pleasure to organize any class that you are interested in. Please let me know what classes you need to fulfill your requirements for a new designation or a renewal.  

Below is an amazing opportunity for you that was passed on to me by our very own Regina Lemanowicz. She has participated in several of their workshops and CE classes for Insurance professionals.  CE classes are approved in 4 states.  Please take a look and see what they have to offer.

Thank You Regina for this incredible information.

Marketing Director - Regina Lemanowicz, CLP

The Marketing team has been busy posting daily on our Region VII Facebook page. A lot of great information on Why Apply for Awards, Benefits of CWC, Why have Industry Speakers at your meetings, Volunteering for Leadership Roles, Essay writing Tips, Benefits of Attending Conferences and we have more to come.  If you have topics you would like us to focus a series of posts on, please let us know. 

We are also sharing valuable information from Internatonal and other regions.  We are hoping you are already following us on Facebook.  If you are not getting our posts, visit the page, like an older post and you should get the recent notifications. 

One of the main goals of the Marketing Team is to promote your meetings, events, and community action programs on the Region VII website calendar. This helps increase visibility across the region and can boost attendance at your events.

Send us your flyers and save the dates and we will add them as quickly as we can.

Happy New Year everyone!

There is not much to report right now, but with the upcoming launch of the new website we will be able to start coordinating the membership/directory lists, reach out to members who have lapsed and start the process of following through on renewal notices to bring everyone back together. 

We should also start getting lapsed and new member notifications from the new staff very soon!

Continue to reach out at any time with membership questions or suggestions.  My liaison and I are here if you need anything, as well as your RVP.

Wow, can you believe we’re already mid-January 2026?

I like a new year, a time to change the old calendar to a new one, and a chance for new beginnings – like a fresh start or reset. It’s true that not everyone is into new year’s resolutions. Instead of new year’s resolutions, how about focusing on goals set, but not yet achieved, adjust the direction if necessary to achieve a goal, and perhaps set new goals.

Goals can per personal or professional or blur the lines between the two. Whichever you choose, I wish you well, seek advice, seek out resources, seek support, we’re here for you at IAIP.

There’s been a change in management companies, with that can be some hesitation, some anxiety, and even stress. Please know that leadership is a guide through albeit uncertain times.

Here’s to your success in whatever goals you set. Please don’t let naysayers derail you from achieving them. I’m in your corner and now’s the time to achieve your goal(s)!

Warmest regards,

Sandy Malone, CIC ACR CIIP CISR CLP CLP-A DAE DTM
