Plans are well underway for our annual CSR/Secretaries Conference. As in the past, we will be conducting the conference in two locations as a convenience to county office staff, May 21-22 - Bowling Green Holiday Inn University Plaza and May 28-29 - Lexington Embassy Suites.

This conference is our opportunity to express appreciation to our CSR's and Secretaries who contribute to making Kentucky Farm Bureau successful. In addition, our aim is to supply pertinent, helpful information, as well as continuing education credits for those CSR's who are licensed agents.

Program Highlights:

Farmowner Enhancements (1 CE Credit)
This course is designed to introduce a change in underwriting philosophy for writing manufactured homes on Farmowner policies. Emphasis will also be placed on the ten (10) new Farmowner endorsements that may be used to amend Farmowner coverages, as well as the new method for calculating replacement cost on outbuildings and other farm structures.

Personal Auto Solution (2 CE Credits)
This course includes an introduction to the multi-unit auto policy that will be implemented, as well as an explanation of the predictive model concept that will match and rate vehicles based on characteristics that best predict loss experience.
