Services: Agents
With over 90 agents in attendance, the 2010 Continuing Education and Business Development Symposium held at the Offices of Professional Life Underwriters Services (PLUS) in Troy on May 4, 2010 was a success. Hosted annually by Association Benefits, Action Benefits, and Professional Life Underwriters (PLUS), the Symposium offered many CE courses where agents could earn up to five free CE credits.
Look for a “save the date” postcard for the 2011 Continuing Education and Business Development Symposium to be held next spring!
