Ky. ‘Town Forums’ Slated in July; Include Continuing Education Classes

The Kentucky Office of Insurance is sponsoring town forums throughout the state in July. The sessions will include a three-hour continuing education class on ethics for insurance agents. In addition, consumers are invited to stop by the various locations to talk to KOI staff members, to file a complaint or to obtain publications.

“These sessions are an important part of our outreach to two of the groups we serve – agents and consumers,” said Glenn Jennings, KOI executive director. “In addition to providing this educational session for agents, we want to be available to consumers across the state who might have questions about an insurance product or who need to discuss a particular situation with a KOI staff member. We encourage consumers to stop by to see us when we are in the area.”

The schedule is:

Agent sessions are from 1-4 p.m. at all locations except Prestonsburg, where the schedule will be 9 a.m. to noon.

Agent sessions are from 1-4 p.m. at all locations except Prestonsburg, where the schedule will be 9 a.m. to noon. Consumers are invited to stop by during those times. Arrangements will be made so consumers can talk confidentially with a KOI staff member if needed.
