CIP Society launches monthly, “emerging trends” papers

The CIP Society, the professionals division of the Insurance Institute, has launched a series of monthly “emerging trends and issues” papers to focus discussion by experts on a variety of leading-edge topics.
The first in the series is an analysis of pandemics, which is currently available to members online. Subsequent papers are to feature subjects such as cybercrime, identity theft and material change to risk.
This monthly trends paper is part of the Societys evolving family of information services now offered under the name ADVANTAGE, The CIP Society wrote in a press release. The ADVANTAGE format includes daily, monthly and quarterly distribution.
Time and time again we hear that the CIP e-news delivered to our members desktops is one of the most valuable benefits of membership in the CIP Society, explains Bruce MacDonald, chair of CIP Society National Council. Our mandate is to provide our members with up-to-date information from the top insurance news providers, and we are proud of the evolution of the e-News to more global coverage.
The evolved CIP e-News, redesigned and called ADVANTAGE: the news in brief, was launched on Monday, Apr. 2. Refinements made to this service include offering a more global representation. It continues to bring news stories from Canadian Underwriter, but now also includes breaking international briefs from the Post Magazine in the UK (daily) and Advisen Front Page News in the US (Mondays).
