Our focus will be to team up with and build quality content with our partners (insurers, affinity groups, industry experts, etc.) throughout the year. This extensive library of accredited e-learning programs we are building will be accessible “on-demand” for our members. Today, learning is happening anywhere and at anytime. Learning is occurring not just in the classroom anymore, but in the home, workplace, library and our daily interactions with others. Learning happens through active engagement and significantly, it is no longer identified with reading text or listening to lectures, but rather occurs through on-line group chats and communities, in real time. At IBAO, we are expanding our continuing education offerings to include more webinars and self-paced e-learning modules in 2016. We understand that high quality content produces well trained, highly effective people. Look for new IBAO content to support your professional development. Just as important to quality content is the professional facilitators who deliver it! We are looking to grow our great facilitator base with new, innovative facilitators who have a passion for development and the ability to strengthen the broker channel. Connect with us if you are interested in becoming a facilitator. At IBAO, we continue to offer our designation and certificate programs on-line, in the classroom and self-directed. IBAO President, Doug Heaman, has a powerful message for 2016 - “Create Your Future”. Ownership of your development path includes an intentional commitment towards insurance designations such as CAIB. We encourage you to make one important step… enroll and begin your designation journey with IBAO. Finally, IBAO is committed to bringing educational offerings to every corner of the Province. Currently, Basic Broker licensing is offered on-line and in our IBAO classroom. To meet your needs, we have also expanded Basic Broker licensing to Mississauga, Thunder Bay and Brampton in 2016. We have more CAIB facilitators offering immersion classes and on-line group sessions to support rural interest. With your help, together, we can build the right program offered exclusively to you and your staff. Your success, is our success. All the more reason to join our programs. “Create Your Future” with IBAOeducation in 2016 Doug Heaman, CCIB President, IBAO As competition continues to increase in the insurance Industry, education and knowledge will continue to be one of the key ways we will be able to differentiate ourselves. Advocacy and “advice-based” service are embedded in our ability to skillfully discern the needs of our clients, overcome objections with relevant information and make recommendations that meet their individual needs. Our ability to do this is rooted and grounded in education. As one of the three pillars for success, IBAO will be focusing on and expanding its educational offerings for 2016. Thanks to the abundance of information available on the internet, our ability to adapt to the needs of our evolving, more educated client, highlights the desire to be a “lifelong learner”. The Insurance Industry offers a rewarding career opportunity and like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. 2 www.ibao.org Gone are the days where the only place you could purchase insurance was from your local broker. Today’s insurance customer has choices like never before. That doesn’t mean that “advice-based” service is no longer valued. What it does mean is “how” we deliver our services must adapt to these changes. My theme for 2016 is “Create Your Future”, inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s quote “The best way to predict your future is to create it”. Education has and will continue to play a role in helping us create the future we desire. The future belongs to those who are willing to prepare for it. I encourage you to take advantage of some of the educational opportunities being offered this year and elevate your professionalism. We all have 24 hours in a day, how will you use those hours? As Insurance professionals we are continually faced with the challenge of offering more to our customers than price. We have the answer at our fingertips. Creating engaging sales and service experiences that transcend the world of convenience is still trending. I hope you see opportunities that are “ripe for the picking” and choose today to make 2016 the year you dedicate your time to “Create Your Future”. insurance brokers association of ontario 3 2016 Course Calendar Snapshot CL = Commerical Lines T = Technical Hour(s) JULY JANUARY S M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11-22 14 18 20 21 25 28-1 Two-Week Prep Course for RIBO Level I -

What many don’t realize is that small and medium-sized businesses can be even more at risk than larger companies because of their lack of resources and experience in this area. It’s up to brokers to let their customers know their risks are real—and growing. This two-hour webinar will go over the types of privacy breaches that businesses face and dispel the myth that a data breach is always the result of hackers. New federal legislation is about to come into play, and we will provide an update on what the new obligations that businesses will have with respect to privacy breaches. We will also discuss Intact Insurance’s cyber endorsement and go over its three main components: privacy breach coverage, services provided by IDT911 (Intact Insurance’s third party privacy breach experts), and business interruption coverage—a component that differentiates the Intact Insurance solution in the small to medium sized business space.
