Eff ective Eff ective Jan. 1, 2017, a valid personal and/or business email address is required by law. Please visit NIPR (pdb.nipr.com/my-nipr/frontend/identify-licensee) to update your email address. Th e Department will no longer be mailing hard-copy renewal notices to licensees. Eff ective Jan. 11, 2011, the deadline for biennial-ly complying with continuing education and license renewal is the last day of the producer’s month of birth. Producers born in an odd-numbered year must com-ply by the last day of the birth month in an odd-num-bered year. Producers born in an even-numbered year must comply by the last day of the birth month in an even-numbered year. CE hours must be completed prior to renewing your license on NIPR. You should allow at minimum 72 hours for your CE status to be updated before you will be able to renew your license. If you wait until the last day of your birth month to complete your CE, you will not be able to renew on time and will incur a late-renewal penalty. Producers must complete 24 general hours of con-tinuing education including a minimum of three hours of Ethics by the deadline before they can renew their license online at NIPR (nipr.com). Multi-line (property and casualty and life, accident and health) producers must complete 24 of CE credits.

Th is section applied only to those producers who were granted a reduced CE compliance prior to Jan. 1, 2010. Up to 18 CE hours in excess of the CE compliance period may be carried over and applied to the next com-pliance period; ethics hours will not carryover. An individual who arrives aft er the start of a CE class or leaves before the class is over will not receive credit for the continuing education classroom session, regardless of the number of hours completed during the class session. Instructors may deny credit to anyone who is inattentive (reading a newspaper, talking, texting, using cell phone, etc.). All licensed resident insurance producers should fi rst check the approved continuing education course list on SBS’s website (www.statebasedsystems.com) before taking a CE course.

Calling BS on “Busy”Speaker: Andrew Mellen, The Most Organized Man in America

Th ere are no shortcuts to good time management. Many people use the excuse of being too “busy” for why they don’t get more important things done. Th e truth is, you choose what you focus on, even if you believe you have no ability to choose. Add in working remotely, social distancing, and everything that isn’t normal about the “new normal” of COVID, and it’s clear that staying focused and productive can challenge even the most organized among us. Th at’s why you need to take on Th e Seven Deadly Time Th ieves™ and change your mindset fast. By addressing interruptions, overcommitting, poor planning, multitasking, email, meetings, and procrastination, you will see remarkable improvements immediately.

Takeaways include:• Disrupting the narrative of “busy” along with the guilt/regret/avoidance of poor time management.• Leveraging core values to make consistent high-impact decisions every day.• How to fi nally break free from procrastination and manage workfl ow interruptions eff ectively.• Why multitasking always fails and what to do instead.• When to answer emails and how to unclog your inbox fast.• How to run eff ective meetings and when to avoid them.• How to shift your organization’s culture before burnout wreaks havoc and costs skyrocket.

Andrew Mellen is a keynote speaker, coach, productivity and organizational expert, and the No.1 best-selling author of Unstuff Your Life! and Th e Most Organized Man in America’s Guide to Moving.

He helps people and businesses worldwide to remove physical and time clutter to regain time for the things that matter. He likes to say, ‘Give me two hours once and I’ll give you an hour back every day for the rest of your life.’

A sought-aft er authority on productivity and organizing, Andrew’s addressed audiences from TEDx, YPO, and Dwell on Design to Th e Great British Business Show, Seattle Interactive, ICF Con-verge, and BlogHer. Corporate clients include the NY Mets baseball franchise, American Express, NetApp, Genentech, Goldman Sachs, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nationwide Insurance, Time, Inc., and the US Depts. of Education and Homeland Security.

Dubbed as “Th e Most Organized Man in America,” he has written for and/or appeared everywhere from Th e Wall Street Journal, Th e New York Times and Fast Company to CBS Sunday Morning, HGTV and NPR. He also hosts the popular podcast, Unstuff America! on iTunes.Mellen

Intentional Leadership: Engaging Virtual EmployeesSpeaker: Cheryl Koch, CPCU, CIC, ARM, AAI, API, AAM, AIM, AIS, ARP, AINS, ACSR, FIS,President/CEO, Agency Management Resource Group

Whether you already had a remote workforce or the pandemic persuaded you to create one, you will want to adapt your leadership style to this new normal. In the past, we may have done a lot of “management by wander-ing around” and that was very eff ective. Clearly, we’re not going to be able to use that technique any longer. With work-from-home (or live-at-work) employees, you will want to change the way you communicate, engage, and

interact with them. You’ll also want to consider how to measure and reward per-formance in this new environment. Th is session will help you make the transition to Intentional Leadership.

Cheryl Koch has been in the insurance industry for a very long time. She has served in nearly every capacity in an independent agency. She now devotes her time to agency management consulting, training and speaking at industry functions throughout the country. She is the President and CEO of Agency Management Resource Group located in Lincoln, Calif. Cheryl consults on marketing and sales, sales management, agency operations, automation, and strategic planning.

Cheryl is also a devotee of lifelong learning and has earned a number of insurance industry professional designations. It is AFIS (Agribusiness and Farm Insurance Specialist) of which she is most proud, having created it along with the late Dr. Emmett J. Vaughan.
