bpedroso — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:06:45 +0000

The Property Risk Insurance Specialist (PRIS) designation is unlike any commercial-property-focused insurance training you have ever experienced. Over three days you learn the what’s, when’s, where’s, why’s and how’s of commercial property coverage. And unlike many property courses you have attended, this training focuses on the nitty gritty truth of commercial property coverage rather than just the coverage forms.

Maureen Gallagher, creator of the PRIS designation, and Chris Boggs talk with Mitch Dunford, CEO of Wells Publishing, about the upcoming PRIS class in Tempe, Arizona. Tune in to learn more about the purpose of the designation, who should attend the training, and how students who complete this course outperform the competition.
