When you receive the invoice from the CPCU Society for your 2010 renewal, you will see that the portion that is attributed to your membership for the NH Chapter has increased. 

Our membership dues have not changed since 1985.  For 2010, we are increasing the annual membership cost to $75.  Our dues base will allow us to create a budget and bring more resources to you.  In exchange for this increase, we plan to change the way we fund our regular meetings (sorry we can’t yet cover the costs of education courses and the ski day).  In the past you have had to pay to fund each meeting and speaker in addition to dues.  For this coming year, our aim is to reduce the cost for NH Chapter members to attend meetings to a nominal amount, or free if possible, by including this cost up front in dues.   Our calendar for the remainder of 2009 will include:

v     Two breakfast meetings with the NH Insurance Commissioner - November 10 and 16

v     Educational seminar on November 4

v     Holiday meeting on December 10   

For 2010:

v     Educational seminar on January 12

v     Annual Ski Day on February 8

v     Educational seminar on March 10

v     Business meetings in April, May and June   

Put these dates on your calendar now so you don’t miss out.  As we finalize dates, locations and speakers we will communicate to you quickly.   We encourage you to take advantage of your NH Chapter membership by joining our meetings to learn from our speakers, meet your fellow CPCU’s and network.  Please remember that you also have the benefit of access to newsletters and information from all 14 Interest Groups.  We will continue to bring you educational opportunities to sharpen your skills, local level networking with other CPCU’s and resources that help you stay connected to enhance your career.
