Additional information is available from the Institutes CE website - http://ceforcpcu.theinstitutes.org/

57th Annual CPCU Insurance All Industry Day #cpcuiday

As a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter, I shall strive at all times to live by the highest standards of professional conduct. I shall strive to ascertain and understand the needs of others and place their interests above my own, and I shall strive to maintain and uphold a standard of honor and integrity that will reflect credit on my profession and on the CPCU designation.

Antitrust Compliance StatementMarch 4, 1996From time to time, program speakers will appear at chapter meetings and present points of view with which the chapter’s members and leadership do not agree. The Central Illinois Chapter of CPCU would like to make it clear that, as an educational organization, it fosters the exchange of views on subjects which are of interest to its members and the insurance industry. At the same time, the Chapter must guard jealously its neutral status on matters that may have a very material impact on their member sponsoring companies.The chapter will not allow speakers, members, or guests to advocate any conduct which may encourage the violation of antitrust and other regulatory laws applicable to insurers here in the State of Illinois. Any indication that the Chapter facilities are being used for an improper purpose will prompt the chapter, through its leadership, to disavow any illicit activity. That may even include a call to adjourn. Examples of possible violations include the exchange of proposed rates, underwriting guidelines, and dealings with suppliers providing goods and services used in the resolution of pending claims. Members employed by companies having more explicit statements dealing with these issues are encouraged to refer to them for further guidance.

Suggestions/Comments Registrants will receive a survey following the event so the Chapter can continue to improve our annual All Industry Day.
