Our Views on Continuing Education

Why We Continue to Educate Everyone in Our Organization

With any business, education is a key element in keeping your company informed. It helps revitalize your employees, directors and executives to get them thinking outside of the everyday operations, taking a step back to look at the big picture for the company as a whole. Are we on the right track? Are we following the current action plan for the company? Are we where we want to be? Are we using every source of information possible?

There are a lot of educational opportunities that can help answer those questions. Over the next several days our company is attending the Tennessee Association of Mutual Insurance Companies' annual education seminar. Not only will most of our staff be there, but most of our directors as well. It is important to educate EVERY person in your organization. You cannot expect an organization/company to grow if only one person is being educated. Most of the time the person attending the CE classes is not the final decision maker in the organization/company.

It is not about just attending the seminar, but about taking what the speakers say, using their thoughts, ideas and advice and making them work for your company. The speakers at these conferences are experienced industry professionals who want to see our 100+ year old companies continue to thrive and grow. With the fast changing technology and society we have all the resources available. We can still stand by the core values our companies were founded on, but use new ideas to get our companies where they need to be.

I am very excited to see what the next couple of days bring, what I can learn from the presenters and what new ideas I can bring to my company.
