Description

WEBINAR FORMAT:

Join us FREE for an interesting and informative WEBINAR about Cannabis Insurance presented by Matt Child, CEO of Utah Independent Agents.  Seats are limited to the first 95 participants so don't wait! Register by completing the information on this page below.

Legislation has been passed that gives Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) the authority to regulate the growing, processing, handling and brokering of hemp in Nebraska. This means that insurance agents are soon going to be faced with an emerging market, which will have very limited outlets for the placement of insurance. 

IIAN has collaborated with other Big "I" associations from around the country to offer our members an exclusive cannabis program, which allows them the ability to insure a variety of businesses and operations tied into the cannabis industry. This provides our members a competitive advantage in the simple fact they will have an option for these insureds when most insurance carriers will not provide coverage for entities involved with the growing, processing, or handling of cannabis-related products.

IN-PERSON FORMAT:

This presentation is also being offered in-person by IIAO as part of a luncheon in Omaha. A fee may apply for lunch purchase.  If you would like to attend in person, please register directly through IIAO using this link:  https://iiaomaha.org/meet-reg1.php?id=129
