Additionally, the AGSC will offer a lunch-and-learn continuing education (CE) course for insurers Tuesday afternoon. AGSC members are welcome to attend both but should register in advance.
This will be the fourth year that the AGSC will hold its annual member meeting just prior to Auto Glass Week. The 2016 meeting featured a telephone marketing expert, the latest information on the AGRSS™ Standard, and more.
“Our annual membership meeting is a wonderful time to bring all of our members together,” says AGSC president Debra Levy. “It offers both a networking opportunity for members to learn from one another and an informative seminar line-up.”
This will be the second year the AGSC has held a CE course for insurers. This year, the AGSC will provide lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and the class will follow from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Industry veteran Joel Timmons of Profitable Glass Solutions will lead the course.
Insurance company agents and representatives, as well as AGSC members, can attend free of charge.
“We urge you to invite your insurance partners to join you at this seminar,” says AGSC president Debra Levy. “It’s a great educational opportunity.”
During the session, Timmons will teach agents and insurance company representatives about the AGSC, AGSC Registered Member Companies, and how they work to ensure the safety of policyholders. Upon completion the course will provide three CE units to insurance agents.
“We are excited about this opportunity to educate agents,” says Kathy Bimber, AGSC director of operations. “We will also show the AGSC’s new video created to educate consumers, agents and others about how crucial proper windshield installations are to vehicle safety.”
