NAMIC Farm Mutual Forum 2018 | National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) | 21 May 2018 | Renaissance Downtown Hotel, 50 N 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43215, USA

Forum is the gathering place for small to medium sized mutual industry professionals. From the flash forum for state associations to the carefully designed Professional Farm Mutual Manager courses, the Forum is where participants can find networking opportunities and educational sessions that encompass the aspects of running and working with farm mutual companies. At Forum, managers, directors, board members, state association leaders, service partners, and up-and-coming leaders in the industry can benefit from the technical and strategic education offered.

Forum is designed for:
• Company Manager – the chief staff member or executive of the mutual insurance company.
• Next Generation Leader – employees of mutual insurance companies who may or may not currently be in a management position; responsibilities are typically focused on one specific function for the company such as claims or underwriting.
• Directors – board members of mutual insurance companies.
• State Association Leaders – individuals who represent the state/provincial associations; individuals may be employed by the state association or may be in a volunteer leadership position, often working for an insurance company.
