To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.

– George MacDonald

Today’s consumers are placing more importance than ever on doing business with companies that align with their values.

Currently the largest consumer group in the U.S., numbering about 75 million people, is the Millennials. Members of this generation were born between 1981 and 1996 and spend well over $1 trillion annually. In seemingly all areas of their lives, including who they work for and where they spend their money, many Millennials insist the organizations they’re involved with share their ethics and values. Can you grow your book by showing this population that you and your staff prioritize ethical conduct? Absolutely!

What you will learn:

• Possible reasons behind unethical behavior and tests to help determine ethical conduct

• Where legality and ethical conduct converge, and diverge

• Legal responsibility to conduct business ethically

• Ethical duties of an insurance professional to the homeowner or homeowner’s agent

Additional topics:

• Ethical considerations specific to property damage restoration companies

• Why prioritizing honesty, transparency, and authenticity support business growth now and in the future

WA License Renewal & CE Credit FAQs:

• Q: How many continuing education credits do I need to renew my license?

• A: Each resident individual producer with life, disability, property, casualty or personal lines must complete a total of 24 credit hours of CE which must include 3 hours of ethics credits prior to license renewal or reinstatement.

• Q: How can I make sure I haven’t taken this class already?

• A: Compare this course number and description to other classes you’ve completed since your last renewal: WA #612001 – Contemporary Ethics. If both match another course you’ve completed during this renewal cycle, you will not receive credit for taking this course.

• Q: Can I take this course now and apply the credits to a future renewal cycle (beyond my next one)?

• A: No. CE credits can only be applied to license renewal for the period in which they are earned (they cannot be banked/frontloaded).

• Q: Is the instructor an approved CE provider in Washington?

• A: Yes. Jerome Matthews, WA State OIC Approved CE Provider #28567 (PuroSystems LLC), will be facilitating this workshop.

• Q: How do I find my Washington State License Number (WAOIC) and/or National Producer Number (NPN)?

• A: You can look up this information for yourself, other agents, agencies or companies on the OIC’s website.
