Navigating the Waters of Inland Marine Insurance
Just when you think you're starting to get the language, we're going to introduce the inland marine policy to you. It has nothing to do with navigating the Mississippi river or the Erie Canal. It turns out that it's another property policy, but it's a really interesting kind of policy. Here's a fun fact, inland marine policies don't always tell you that they're inland marine policies, but they do cover property differently than other policies.
Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight brings you this introduction to the versatile world of inland marine insurance. No life vest required.
Protecting Your Buildings, Your Stuff, and Your Money
Insurance is a world all of its own and when you're new to the business, it takes a while to get used to the words we use, the letter and number combinations that we come up with (and people seem to just understand), and all the other stuff that doesn't make much sense.
Join us as we begin a new series of classes designed to help the new insurance person navigate this new world with confidence. In no time, you'll know the differences between a building and personal property coverage form and a builders' risk coverage form. You'll even understand the differences between an open perils policy and a named perils policy and you'll understand why the phrase "all-risks" makes Patrick twitch.
Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight, dives into the world of commercial property policies.

The CGL Pollution Exclusion: What's Really Excluded and Endorsements to Avoid

Join us as Academy Director of Education, Patrick Wraight brings his take on this complicated exclusion.
