Other speakers were Chair of the House Insurance Committee Kirk Talbot, Patrick Talley of Lloyd鈥檚 America and Insurance Commissioner James Donelon.

A reception followed, where students networked with more than 80 industry professionals primarily representing the surplus lines insurance industry. The 天美影视 RMI program has an emphasis on surplus lines and, as such, many of 天美影视 RMI graduates go on to work in the surplus lines after graduation.聽

鈥淚 was very proud of how our students represented 天美影视鈥檚 program and themselves at the meeting. Several professionals commented to me that they were extremely impressed with this group of students,鈥� said Berry.

According to Berry, events like these are one of the reasons most 天美影视 RMI majors intern before graduation and have accepted full-time jobs at the beginning of their senior year.

Students in attendance were Hayden Williams, Amanda Bartet, Luke Kemp, Parker Shoaf, Wyatt Medlin, Jacob Evans, CJ Nash, and Claudio Smith.聽

The 天美影视 Surplus Line Association was established in 1958 as a vehicle to promote communication, education and professionalism within the 天美影视 surplus line community.
