Professional Development and Awards

We encourage and reward associates who continue their professional insurance education, earning credentials by meeting high academic, ethical and length-of-experience standards. Congratulations to the following associates who completed a series of courses to earn a designation: Tim Ritzie, Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU)

The Above and Beyond the Call (ABC) Award recognizes exemplary productivity, service and quality in exceptional associates. Congratulations to quarterly ABC Award winners Mike Allen, Programmer, IT P&C Administration and Debbie Egbert, Underwriting Assistant, CSU Underwriting.

In July, we began training associates to use our commercial policy processing system, e-CLAS®. Underwriting teams that serve Ohio and Indiana agencies were trained on the software to work with select test agencies. After the system goes live in October, agents may choose from three training formats:

  • Online self-learning modules available anytime in a Show Me, Guide Me, Try Me format
  • Web conferencing training sessions deliver e-CLAS training to agents’ computers along with the ability to interact live with an instructor
  • Hands-on training in classroom sessions at Cincinnati’s Learning Center or near an agent’s office using mobile labs

While agency staff who are familiar with WinCPP® will find the system intuitive and easy to learn, these options provide each agency the ability to choose what best fits its needs.
