education :: for members only

Our gift to you is an exceptional PIA member benefit for you and all your personnel! We're in our 17th year of presenting at least three quality education seminars in Nebraska. Providing six to eight CE hours for each institute, or 18 to 24 hours per year.

We are happy to encourage all staff members in our member agencies to attend FMO Seminars and save approximately $95 for each six-hour segment. Your membership fee is probably far less than the amount of money you spend to keep your agency staff and producers' licenses up to date! That's a savings of $285 per agency member, per year, based on an average of $95 seminar fee for non-members.

Education will continue to be a priority for PIA, as we want you to have the competitive edge and practice professionalism in your business. PIA instructors are independently contracted agents and company personnel whose expertise in the industry adds personal flair to the program.
