    E&O: Introduction to Homeowners

    Continuing Education
    Speaker:

    What happens with the Homeowners policy when a marriage is breaking up and a spouse moves out of the household? How do you know when your customer’s hobbies might be considered a “business?” Are you covered when renting your home through a home-sharing network like Airbnb? Are intentional acts by children covered under the policy? We are faced with questions like these regularly, and the policy itself is a critical resource. In this session, we will explore these questions and review eligibility and definitions while focusing on coverage provided under the liability section of the policy.

    The class will use discussion points to help participants become aware of situations that can be resolved with endorsements or risk management practices. This is a great class for anyone who works in personal lines, or who would like a stronger understanding of the homeowners policy.

    ** This class will satisfy the Illinois Ethics requirement.
    ** Applicable towards three hours of the necessary credit for the E&O discount.

    Would you hate to be entertained while learning?

    If “yes,” then this is not the class for you.

    If you are an insurance nerd, this is your chance to truly enjoy insurance education while competing, interacting, and learning. Join hosts Luke Praxmarer & Nicole Broch as we play “Pursuing Trivia” and “Insurance Jeopardy.” Put your insurance knowledge to use by outsmarting the other teams to win prizes. We will be covering a variety of topics, including Personal Auto & Home, Commercial Property & Auto, Personal Umbrella, EPL, Business Income, Workers Comp, and more. You will leave this course with a greater knowledge of various insurance concepts and coverages, a sore belly from laughing, and hopefully prizes and/or swag from winning.
