Registration Open for Executive Leadership School

 

Registration is open for the NAPSLO Executive Leadership School, set for April 7-10 at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business in Charlottesville. The school tuition is $2,995 for an intense three-day MBA Executive Level program at one of America’s leading universities.

 

The brochure and registration materials for the school are available to download from the NAPSLO website.

 

This program was designed for senior-level members who wish to broaden their perspectives on important social, political, and economic issues influencing the insurance industry. Participants will enhance their leadership skills and become more able to effectively manage change at the personal, team, and organizational levels, and will return to their organizations with the tools and mindsets to think and act more strategically. Those who attend will develop the enterprise perspective required to make winning choices about running their businesses in today’s complex environment.

 

"The NAPSLO Executive Leadership School challenged me to think differently and to consider "what's possible?", said Doug Grant of  Colony Insurance who attended the 2009 school. " I found the case studies, the analysis and discussions very applicable to how I lead both my professional and personal life. The NAPSLO Executive  Leadership School was the best conference I have attended in years."

 

Participants will crystallize their personal world views about how to compete successfully in their market spaces, develop a deeper understanding of social, political, and economic forces affecting their business environments and relate the broad issues in the world to NAPSLO’s industry and to the career experiences—and challenges—of peer participants.

 

"The program forced me to "think in questions," said Andrew Whittington of RSUI Group. "To consider the possibilities of leadership and how to inspire those around me. The professors engaged the students by using real life case studies and this forced me to stretch my skill set, build my confidence and image what is possible."
