IBAS

The second annual Insurance Broker Day at the Legislature was held Tuesday, March 5, in Regina.

This is one of IBAS’s most important advocacy initiatives of the year, featuring a full day of meetings with elected officials, top bureaucrats, and regulatory executives.

The delegation — which consisted of the IBAS board of directors, as well as representatives from the Saskatchewan Young Brokers Network and Insurance Bureau of Canada — led discussions with the Premier’s office, the Minister Responsible for SGI, the Minister of Government Relations (and Minister Responsible for PDAP), the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, the Caucus Policy Committee on Crown & Central Agencies, the Ministry of Finance, the General Insurance Council of Saskatchewan, as well as the Official Opposition.

With a little more than a month to go, the 2019 Saskatchewan Summit of Young Insurance Professionals has already reached more than 80% capacity!

Don’t miss your chance to connect with brokers, underwriters, adjusters, and other insurance stakeholders at similar stages of their careers for an interactive day of relationship-building, professional development, and best practices sharing.

Speakers include: Craig Reynolds, President & CEO, Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club; Jolene Watson, President, Clarity Coaching & Development; Celyeste Power, Vice President, Western, Insurance Bureau of Canada; Braden Bosch, Founder & President, Nuera Insurance; and Penny McCune, Executive Vice President & COO of the SGI Auto Fund.

In today’s competitive marketplace, knowledge can make all the difference. As insurance brokers, it’s no longer enough to be experts only in insurance — you must now understand industry and economic trends, customer behaviour, and what’s coming on the horizon to maximize both individual performance and brokerage profitability.

That’s why IBAS is proud to launch the new Broker Insights Roundtable Series: Quarterly events aimed at bringing together mid- to senior-level brokers and brokerage principals to share best practices and learn from thought leaders on pertinent areas of interest. Each two-hour session will include a presentation from a subject matter expert, followed by a facilitated roundtable discussion.

THE NEXT ROUNDTABLE

Chris Guerette, CEO of the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association, will walk attendees through trends in new construction, land use, real estate sales, rental rates, and the overall housing market. Roundtable participants will also discuss impacts related to overland flooding, and how home insurance products must evolve to meet demand.
