When I filed my blog entry the other day about how the insurance industry should launch an initiative to educate high school students about the basics of coverage, I totally forgot about the noble efforts of the Insurance Education Institute, which talked about their program in one of last year's editions of NU! Click on to read the exchange I had with their dedicated president, Larry Forrester. As Larry outlines, they do fine work, but they need more support for sure to make a dent in this problem. I will help publicize their cause as best I can. The rest is up to the industry. Sorry, Larry!
From Larry L. Forrester, President & CEO of the Insurance Education Institute:
Sam, I was puzzled and surprised to see your comments on your blog regarding the industry's need to educate consumers, and the fact that the industry was not taking the initiative to provide that education–especially since you and I have discussed the Insurance Education Institute programs to educate young people about insurance, risk management and career opportunities.
