CAPIA PAC now established

With CAPIA PAC, you now have a way to fight back! CAPIA PAC is asking for minimum contribution of $100 per insurance agent to reach its goal of $10,000 by November 2012. Please consider mailing your PERSONAL CHECK, cannot take agency check due to IRS rules, made payable to CAPIA PAC. Mail to PIANC, PO Box B, Henderson, NC 27536. A hundred agents giving $100 each to CAPIA PAC would truly let us start the new year with our voices being heard; and, it is tax deductible!!

Many agents have asked PIANC about having a PAC; so, PIANC has now established CAPIA PAC, a 501-c-6 under the IRS rules for tax deductible contributions for NC. Important elections are coming up in 2012, and CAPIA PAC has set this goal of contributing $10,000 for 2012 for conservative causes. Now, for all of you who have commented about not being able to fight back against those that are against the American Independent Agency System (your agency) and against certain NCDOI rules and regulations that help their interests, not agents, do have a way to be heard. Funds of CAPIA PAC will be dispersed by PIANC Board.

Having the CPIA designation – Gets Results!

You have heard it before. “if you continue doing things the same old way, you will continue to get the same old results.”

How are your results in Sales? In Retention? In Profits?

Do you need to make some changes to get different results?

Are you willing to make those changes?
