Their aim was “to initiate and facilitate the exchange of educational information and ideas among insurance related professionals to enhance the effectiveness of these individuals, their employers and the financial services industry as a whole”. Which basically means creating conditions under which more people will buy more insurance. Now if, which of course God forbid, anything should ever happen to you….
