RECAP: Career Development Week
LOUISIANA REALTORS • September 12, 2018

Louisiana REALTORS held the second week long event focused on the opportunity for REALTORS to earn nationally recognized designations and certifications. Attendees of the event learned from some of the best national instructors and walked away better prepared to represent clients and with the strategies needed to apply to their business.
The debut of the brand new Data Privacy course that was cancelled at the event has been rescheduled for November 5, 2018 in Metairie at the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of REALTORS. Registration for that course is now open and an early bird discount is applicable until October 5.
“We are committed as an organization to provide these great learning opportunties for REALTORS. We know that this caliber of education goes beyond the minimum continuing education requirements and will better prepare REALTORS to meet the needs of today’s consumers,” said Norman Morris, CEO.
Attendees of the event had positive things to say as well -
“I enjoyed every minute of my participation in Career Week. Great line up of instructors. “ -Debra Lindsey
“I thought I was a good broker, until I came here!” - John Mondello
“ The last 3 days were awesome! The opportunities for an independent broker with a small boutique company to learn is very few and hard to find! I wish we had things like this quarterly. Thank you for the great sessions!” - Kellie Osbon
“I enjoyed the classes, wish I could have attended more than 3. I learned a lot that I can implement in my business. I will attend the next one offered. “ - Carolyn Webber

From the Louisiana Department of Insurance: Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple announced today that the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) continues its work to develop a regulation creating benchmark discounts for Fortified roofs in Louisiana. The LDI is working with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to develop the benchmark discounts using Louisiana-specific data, hurricane modeling and actuarial considerations. “With over 11,000 Fortified roofs in Louisiana and two years-worth of insurer experience with rating for those roofs in our state, now is an appropriate time for the LDI to establish benchmark discounts for homeowners insurance companies operating in our market,” said Commissioner Temple. “These benchmarks are being thoughtfully developed to help consumers receive the discounts they deserve for fortifying their homes while making sure insurers know the benchmarks reflect how much Fortified roofs actually mitigate their exposure to risk across Louisiana.” Like in Alabama’s Fortified benchmark discount structure, the LDI regulation would require Louisiana insurance companies to either meet the minimum benchmark discount established by the LDI or provide actuarial justification for why the company’s discount does not meet the benchmark. Louisiana is the fastest growing state for Fortified roofs in America. To date, over 11,000 Fortified roofs have been installed in Louisiana, including over 4,100 through the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program.
