CPCU SPREAD THE WORD!

As we approach the end of the Chapter year and near the summer months our Chapter activities drop off until the fall. It is at this time that it becomes even more important for us to increase the visibility and awareness of the CPCU designation. As CPCU's it is incumbent upon us to promote the designation, demonstrate our commitment to ethics, showcase our relevant insurance experience and practical knowledge. "SPREAD THE WORD" about your CPCU designation! Being a CPCU sets you apart in the Property-Casualty insurance industry. You will also be a role model for those seeking the designation.
