Annual Golf Events

Day at the Capitol
March 6, 2013, Capitol Plaza Hotel, Jefferson City, Mo.
Designed to give members and others the opportunity to learn more about insurance legislation being considered by the Missouri Legislature, and time to meet with elected officials to express their views.

With members of the MAHU and NAIFA-MO joining in, the 2012 Day at the Capitol drew a large gathering of interested parties, and agents were present in droves outside the House of Representatives' chamber, speaking to their reps and promoting the industry's interests.

Crawfish Feast

This informal dinner is an opportunity to relax, get acquainted and enjoy some fine cuisine prepared by the young agents and their friends. For those not into crawfish, the menu also includes smoked meats and various side dishes. Refreshments are also included.

Small Agency Conference
March 21-22, 2013, Holiday Inn, Columbia, Mo.
This annual conference, which began in 1990, is designed to meet the unique education and networking needs of small to mid-sized agencies—agencies that write a lot of small accounts, and not as many large commercial accounts. Consequently, these agencies come from both metropolitan as well as small towns and rural areas. Includes a trade show with nearly 100 companies exhibiting, timely education programs, CIC and CISR conferment ceremonies, and various opportunities for networking, and much company involvement. This event is traditionally held in Columbia, Mo.

Our 2012 Small Agency Conference featured keynote speaker Dr. Jason Selk. There were nearly 300 agents in attendance and once again, the trade show was an incredible success.

Young Agents Conference

This conference combines compelling learning experiences mixed with delightful networking and social events designed especially for young agents and new producers. This event also features a Cardinals baseball game.

The 2012 Young Agents Conference was help June 3-5, at the Hilton Promenade on Branson Landing. Nearly 40 young agents gathered with family, friends and company representatives attended the event for education, motivation and networking opportunities. Keynote speaker Jon Petz impressed the audience with his humorous magic show while demonstrating the effect that passion has on a career.

Leadership Conference
July 17-19, 2013, Tan-Tar-A Resort, Osage Beach
This event is designed for any insurance professional who guides the insurance career of another. Networking and educational opportunities combine to create energy and enthusiasm during every event on the agenda.

The 2012 conference, held July 18-20, at The Lodge of Four Seasons, again proved its popularity, with approximately 400 registrants. Continued development of the Best Practices platform for the education sessions included sessions on business continuity, producer compensation and crisis management. The keynote speech from Mary Matalin and James Carville provided both laughs and political insight. The Block Party and Strolling Dinner, the Awards and Installation Banquet, and the legislative and regulatory session, Eggs and Issues, all helped to round out an excellent conference.
