Cook joined 64 participants from
throughout the Midwest. Managers learned more about a variety of
topics, including contractual responsibilities, preparing for state
exams, dwelling and homeowners RPM and rate study, and emerging
issues. They also received extended training on management, claims,
underwriting, reinsurance, marketing, and technology.
“We want to provide our mutual managers with the tools they need to
move their businesses forward — practical information that they can
use in their offices when they return,” said Rick Tjarks, Grinnell
Mutual assistant vice president of Reinsurance. “In today’s changing
insurance industry it is also important for mutual managers to stay
current and network with their peers. The Academy offers a great
opportunity for that.”
