This course will provide an understanding of potential conflicts of interest and what effect they may have on a mutual insurance company.  We will provide examples of potential conflicts of interest found within our industry as well as strategies to repair them.  Developing a long-range plan to steer the mutual away form potential conflicts will be reviewed.  

Mock Board Meeting
Volunteers will run a mock board meeting and a moderator will walk us through the challenges that come with doing business as a board of directors.  Unintentionally violating laws doesn't make you innocent and we want to point out some common areas that tend to get overlooked in meetings.  While some of the meetings will seem entertaining,  the knowledge you will walk away with is invaluable! 

Roundtables
Discussions will continue regarding the errors that can happen in our board meeting and members will have roundtable discussions about additional board topics.  Always a requested session in our meetings.
