The CPCU Candidate Outreach Contest
Sponsored by The Institutes
We are excited to announce a new contest for CPCU Society Chapters: The CPCU Candidate Outreach Contest. This contest is designed to encourage interaction among CPCU Society Chapters and people pursuing the CPCU designation. In a recent study, we found that CPCU students who have contact with their local chapters, are almost twice as likely to complete the CPCU program and become CPCU Society members.
How to Get Your Chapter Involved
1. Commit to participate in the contest by sending an e-mail to Kathy Hinkle at hinkle@cpcuiia.org.
2. Encourage current or prospective CPCU students to attend any chapter sponsored activities from May 1, 2010, through September 1, 2010. Suggested activities include:
• Chapter meeting or other chapter event (guest speaker appearance, networking reception, social event, chapter conferment ceremony)
• Mentoring meeting (one-on-one or group)
• ‘Lunch and Learn’ about the value of being a CPCU
• Any other chapter activity
3. Log candidate participation on our website. Click here to enter participants
4. For group activities involving 5 or more candidates send a spreadsheet with participants name and email address to hinkle@cpcuiia.org.
What Your Chapter Can Win
Two prizes will be awarded:
• One to the CPCU Society Chapter that records the greatest total number of current or prospective CPCU students at their chapter activities
• One to the CPCU Society Chapter that records the greatest total number of current or prospective CPCU students as a percentage of chapter membership
The top chapters will all be recognized at the 2010 Annual Meeting. The two winning chapters will each receive a $750 stipend to use at their discretion.
The contest begins on May 1, 2010, and ends on September 1, 2010. Winners will be announced in Mid September.
How the Contest Works
After you host a chapter activity, click here to enter the names of the current or prospective CPCU students who participated in the activity. Each month, we will post the standings on this Web site.
For more information regarding this contest, contact Kathy Hinkle, Director of Customer Relations, at hinkle@cpcuiia.org or 484-831-9069.
