ALLIANCE CHANGES INSURANCE EDUCATION

May 23, 2005

An innovative collaboration between The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research and The Profes-sional Insurance Agents of Georgia has resulted in a new insurance education partnership in Georgia called The Georgia Alliance. The two organizations will work together in the conduct of all Alliance programs throughout Georgia.

The administrative agreement includes the conduct of the entire spectrum of National Alliance offerings including Certified Insurance Counselors institutes, Certified Insurance Service Representatives courses, Certified Risk Managers courses, James K. Ruble Seminars and the Dynamics of Sales Training series.

The Georgia Alliance will be directed by PIA of Georgia’s current leadership: Steve Jones, president; Jerry W. Duke, executive vice president; and Carolyn Beierla, education coordinator. PIA of Georgia will be responsible for all National Alliance program marketing and administration in the state. The Georgia Alliance will begin its administrative role this July.
