Recent Meetings & Presentations

New England Chapter Meeting
Friday, December 11, 2009
Hyatt Regency Hotel and Spa
Newport, Rhode Island

Our winter chapter meeting was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Spa in Newport. Our guest speaker was Anthony Derico, a contributing author of Digital Strategies for Powerful Corporate Communications, and a principal of think communications, LLC — a New York-based consultant and provider of digital communications strategy for business intelligence providers. Anthony discussed various aspects of this book and offered insights on how to leverage new powerful and effective digital communications.

Following the meeting we had our networking event at the famously beautiful and extravagant Newport mansions which were all decked out for the winter holidays. These mansions — understatedly referred to as their "summer cottages" by the wealthy barons of the Gilded Age — line historic Bellevue Avenue, their backyards looking out onto the world-renowned Cliff Walk and Atlantic Ocean. As Cornelius Vanderbuilt once quipped, "It's not much, but we call it home!"

Past E-Days

New England Chapter Educational Day
Friday, May 15, 2009
Four Points by Sheraton
Norwood, Massachusetts

This year's Education Day had an all star team of regulators, industry organizations, compliance experts and other industry leaders to help us learn about key issues and strategies for 2009. Topics on the agenda included: Privacy, the Interstate Compact, SERFF, Surplus Lines, Disability, AML Legislation, Bankruptcy, Consumer Affairs & Compliance Management, Financial Strategies & Market Updates, Networking Skills & Using New Technology, and Hot Topics discussions covering a number of current issues.

The day started out with the entire group together for a presentation by Kathy Donovan, Senior Compliance Counsel, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services on "Top Regulatory Concerns for Now and the Future." We then went on to concurrent breakout sessions provided.

At the noontime Networking Lunch and Volunteer Recognition, Frances Sample was honored as the 2009 Volunteer of the Year.

Following the meeting we were able to take a self guided tour at "The Hall at Patriot Place." The tour took us through the history of the Patriots where we were able to watch a video, take pictures with some of the "players in a huddle," with the Super Bowl trophies, and Super Bowl Rings. It was great fun for all who went.
