January 2022 PIANC News

By Lisa Farnham | January 1, 2022

It's a new year. Are your ducks in a row?

A Message from your Association Executive

As we wind up for the year ahead, we hope you had a successful 2021. It was another year of challenges as we all continued to navigate thru the pandemic.

Here’s a recap of PIANC successes for 2021 –

In August 2021, PIANC had a successful conference in Winston-Salem. We also implemented a schedule of education classes including the CPIA designation, cyber liability, E&O, ethics and much more. If you need CE, look no further than PIANC.

We significantly grew our E&O book of business and were recognized by Utica National as one of their top-producing agencies. Thank you for trusting PIANC with protecting your agency.

In 2022, we will have our inaugural golf tournament to support North Carolina charities. Stay tuned for details.

We will also be adding new Board members as we continue to move the association forward and implement new programs and ideas.

I personally look forward to traveling more in 2022 and meeting with all of you.

In the meantime, best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

Kevin Kowar, CIC, AU

Association Executive, PIANC
