The first Institute was started in Toronto in 1899. Others followed in Montreal, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Local Institutes are now established in all provinces. In 1952, all Institutes joined in association with The Insurance Institute of Canada to establish a uniform standard of insurance education and examinations. The Institute sets the syllabus of studies, produces the appropriate Canadian texts, conducts distance-learning courses, holds national examinations, and elects graduates. The Institute sponsors a competition for original essays, works of research, papers, or articles on subjects related to property and casualty insurance. supervise arrangements for holding the examinations; maintain libraries of insurance textbooks available on loan to members; support graduates’ societies and public speaking clubs; promote seminars, workshops, and research projects to further efficiency and progress in general insurance.

(Bob) Tisdale, T. Neil Morrison, Jean-François Blais 1st Row Standing (l to r): Pat Van Bakel, Mike Wills, Julie Pingree, Chantal Gagnon, Darrel Coates, Glenda Ouellette, Peter Hohman 2nd Row Standing (l to r): Rocco Neglia, Steve McQueen, Joanne Hampson, Nathalie Wright, Joan Wager, Moira Murphy, Darlene Diplock, Helen Smith, Corinne McIntosh, Kathy Stewart, Enrico Mastrangeli, Chad Shurnaik, Norine Taylor, Jennifer Perry 3rd Row Standing (l to r): François Jean, Ian Frost, Everett Porter, Paul Croft, Tim Shauf, Mark Rouleau, Simon Charbonneau, Dale Rogoza, Anna McCrindell, David Sorensen, Mike Hordichuck, Crystal Syrenne 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 9 Chair’s Address to the 62nd Annual General Meeting October 2015 Neil Morrison, BA (Hons) It is great to be here and it has been a great year for the Institute and it has been a great 3 years to have had a seat on the Institute’s Executive Committee. The demand for web-based learning as a preferred learning style is being met with a broad offering of online options both at the local and national levels. I confess to have been somewhat reluctant to engage with the Institute when Maurice Tulloch asked that I insert myself into the executive rotation to Chair – not because I wasn’t fully supportive of the Institute (because I do strongly believe that well-educated, knowledgeable, credentialed professionals are essential to the success of any organization – and that learning and knowledge is an ongoing investment in oneself and in one’s career) but rather my reluctance was more about how I might contribute something to the Institute’s benefit. And in hindsight… I was probably right! The fact is, I feel I have personally benefitted more from participating with other senior professionals in the industry – and certainly with Peter and his colleagues at the Institute – than I fear I have been able to impart – on what is a very well run organization who without exception provides world-class stewardship over top notch continuing education and learning in our industry. And if you will permit me, I would like to highlight some of the very full and active agenda items the institute has prioritized as it continues to transform the way it advances the delivery of 10 The Insurance Institute of Canada professional development to our industry. I’ll start with two cornerstones: Financial and I.T. Most members probably do not appreciate that the Institute has over $18 million in assets and a $12 million annual budget. Where once upon a time funding for the Institute’s initiatives came from voluntary “subscription” contributions from the industry’s insurers (and while that financial commitment remains very important) the institute has aggressively moved towards a user-pay model and has been able to reduce “subscriptions” by 20% - about $50,000 for your average $2 billion insurer – and counting! As to technology, it is a cornerstone brick to meeting or exceeding customers’ every changing demands and expectations (to keeping relevant and abreast of needs) especially around how and in what format members want to consume our products – and for the institute that has manifested itself in the form of CBE or “computer-based-exams”. The CBE platform will permit students to write more than 40 different exams in either of Canada’s national languages in three week exam windows three times per year. Exam markers will receive and return their grading assignments electronically – which reduces the time to have exams marked (down to a couple of days rather than weeks) and eliminates the costs and risks associated Chair’s Address to the 62nd Annual General Meeting - October 2015 Continued with physically transporting paper exams across the country among exam centres, markers and head office. Leadership over this game changing initative rests with Ted Hellyer, our VP Programs; our Senior Director, Examinations & Registrar, Neil Toffick; and of course Anthony Vanniasinkam, Director of I.T. who has done an exemplary job getting this project pulled together on time and on budget – perhaps the only I.T. driven initiative I have ever witnessed to do that – well done! Also on the technology front and exploiting our ever exponential usage of hand-held PDA devices – especially among our younger members – we have launched a portal for hand-held devices. The portal allows immediate access to on-line transactions with the institute. An insurance dictionary App – available to members and nonmembers has been introduced – as well as the ability to purchase practice questions for principles and practices students – all at your fingertips! Again Anthony, thank you for your leadership. The demand for web-based learning as a preferred learning style is being met with a broad offering of online options both at the local and national levels. Gamification adds a dynamic experience to the way our students engage with our courses. CE credits for brokers, in both languages, will be delivered in this fashion. Your institute is setting a pace in the adoption of tools and methods that are ahead of many other service industries. As to the Institutes products and services, the Institute has identified and reached out to segments of the industry that have not traditionally been served. New entrants to the industry at the board and senior management level can benefit from two dual-purpose offerings titled Fundamentals of Insurance. The added benefit for the Institute is an enhanced awareness of our brand at the executive levels in our industry. Also, a new partnership with the risk management societies in Canada and the United States, along with the American institutes means the Institute can accredit the CRM designation directly to our membership. CIP courses develop technical skills specific to our industry. Once achieved, we encourage students to continue towards an FCIP designation. The path toward FCIP typically entailed an undergraduate degree which was problematic for students wishing to add leadership skills to their learning ambitions if they entered the industry without that requisite. In order to assist this universe of our membership who wish to continue with their learning development, the Institute has introduced a new CIP (Advanced) stream which consists of 4 courses (two of which are open to all institute members: Business Foundations for Insurance Professionals & Critical Thinking for Insurance Professionals) which once completed, satisfies the university degree requirement for enrolling in the fellowship program. Ted Hellyer has been instrumental here and I can report the demand has been double initially forecasted in the most recent fall enrollment – forcing the Institute to defer additional students into the next term. As part of the Institute’s ambition to stake its rightful claim as the industry’s premier thought leader and education provider – we published a demographic study in 2007 specific to the P&C industry – and with its success we built on and added to that research over the following number of years. This past year we moved off the human capital question to address a thought provoking study on the emergence of cyber risk and its implications for the insurance industry. Encouraged by the response to that study, we have commissioned a new research paper examining the technical innovation on autonomous vehicles and how they may impact our business. Margaret Parent’s leadership has been very valuable on this initiative, thank you Margaret. With respect to other industry organizations and spheres of influence, the Institute has reached out to enhance relationships with them with a view to collaborate on areas of mutual interest and avoid duplication of efforts and wasted efficiencies. To those ends, we have partnered with IBC on a cross country series of seminars on the topic of fraud and our CEO has recently joined the CIAA National Insurance Industry Advisory Board. Similarly, we have reached out to the provincial broker associations and met with IBAC’s executive director and president with the ambition of enhancing relationships and building bridges. Specifically, there seems to be an obvious collaboration opportunity on the content, delivery, and examination of CAIB courses which as a broker is acute to me – while I sense that acknowledgement from the IBAC leadership, I fear there is a little more work to do at the Provincial level. As to what is in the Institute’s pipeline, the Career Connections team continues to attract, engage and facilitate the pursuit of great careers in the insurance industry through their work in secondary and post-secondary schools – and increasingly, predictably, through the use of social media. For existing industry and Institute members, the next initiative is to develop an industry road map that members can use to expose, navigate and expand their careers towards rewarding options. For CIP graduates, the CIP society’s webbased mentorship program is seeing strong pick up both from those of our colleagues seeking advice and guidance 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 11 Chair’s Address to the 62nd Annual General Meeting - October 2015 Continued and also from employers who see the initiative as a vehicle to transfer knowledge from a retiring baby-boom demographic to our next leaders. Thank you again, Margaret Parent for championing this very worth while initiative. And – If I am on the retirement theme, I am honored to have been able to engage with and learn from Mr. Ted Hellyer, FCIP, CRM, who will be retiring from the Institute following this AGM. Ted has been our Vice-President, Programs and has played a key leadership role at the Institute in a variety of capacities. We owe Ted a great many thank yous for all that he has contributed to the Institute and we wish him a long, healthy, and happy retirement. Thank you Ted! At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Lisa Boniface, MBA, B.Ed., into the VP Programs role on November 1st succeeding Ted in that capacity. Lisa joined the Institute approximately one year ago coming from her role at McMaster University as the acting director for the school of continuing studies. We wish Lisa every success as she steps into these new responsibilities. All Institute colleagues play a key role bringing a plan into reality. Peter Hohman has attracted and retained the best of the best and under his leadership our Institute executes on its mandate to the highest standards. I have mentioned a few of the Institute’s colleagues in my remarks and I would also like to 12 The Insurance Institute of Canada thank Nora Gubins, Director of Business Development & Communications who led much of the work to preach the IIC message to the industry on all these initiatives. Also, Peter’s Operations team has done a terrific job working with the local Institutes – Mike Divjak, VP Operations, Dawna Matton, Sr. Director for Ontario and Margaret Wasserman, Director, Atlantic and Western Operations – Thank you all and to your teams also. I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity to serve the Institute – I had the honor of traveling across the country with Peter attending convocations and shaking thousands of happy, proud, new graduate hands – Bob Tisdale, who succeeds me in this role – I have enjoyed serving with you – I wish you the very best and I know you will get as much out of this wonderful experience as I have. Perhaps most importantly, the Institute actually works because of the volunteers – our committee and council members, instructors and tutors, seminar leaders, exam markers – their selfless and tireless efforts are appreciated and of much value, thank you. Congratulations and thank you for your leadership. Effective leadership is essential to the success of any enterprise, big or small, for profit or not – and at the Institute we are fortunate to have a strong board of governors and an insightful and challenging Executive Committee who ensure the Institute is responding to the needs and expectations of its stakeholders in a pro-active, effective and fiscally responsible fashion. I think we have succeeded so far in that and to those ends I want to thank Peter Hohman, Silvy Wright, Karen Barkley, Bob Tisdale and Jean-François Blais for your time, energy and commitment. I had the recurring feeling that after every Executive meeting together – I was left better off for the benefit and privilege of interacting with you all. Sincerely, Neil Morrison, BA (Hons) Chair Academic Council Report Michael Wills, FCIP Chair, Academic Council Demand for virtual courses continues to grow. A total of 3,476 students took virtual classes in the 2014-2015 academic year, an increase of 5% over last year. 211 virtual classes were offered during the same period, an increase of 17% over the prior year. In the interest of keeping the Institutes products and services vital and responsive to industry needs, the Academic Council enthusiastically endorsed and approved the ongoing projects and the new initiatives being introduced. CHARTERED INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM The C12 Insurance on Property (Common Law) current text edition is 2013. The content has been submitted by SMEs for the new textbook and the editorial process has begun. We have determined that there will be one text that will serve Quebec and the common law provinces. The new text will focus primarily on personal lines of property insurance and will include an introduction to commercial lines. The tentative publishing date for the English text is fall 2016 with the French version published the following term. The C14 Automobile Insurance—Part 1 (Atlantic) current text edition is 2014. An addendum will be delivered in October 2015 to coincide with the date the regime change in PEI will take effect. The new edition will be published in February 2016, which will incorporate the October 2015 Addendum as well as revisions to content in Study 3: No Fault Concepts and Study 5: Third Party Liability, to reflect adoption of DCPD in PEI. The French text will be published in December 2015. The C32 Bodily Injury Claims current text edition is 2005. A major revision is under way and the tentative publishing date is late 2016. The Loss Prevention Series: C36 Building Construction, Fire Hazards, and Basic Hazards; C37 Special Hazards and Processes; and C38 Liability Loss Prevention, utilize the 2012 SCM Risk Management Services texts. A project is under way to write our own materials to replace these third party textbooks. A major revision has been completed of the C39 Fraud Awareness and Prevention text and was published in July 2015. The new curriculum includes the application of new technologies and CANATICS. The text was written using a new format that moves us toward CMS implementation. One of the features is a case study which explores an event cited in the courts, exploring ethical and other issues that an insurance professional would need to consider when reviewing a file. The C48 Automobile Insurance—Part 2 current text edition is 2003. A course revision is under way and the publishing date for the English version is scheduled for November 2015 with the French version published in March 2016. The C66 Financial Service Essentials Part 1 current text edition is 2003. 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 13 Academic Council Report Continued This textbook is in the final stages of a revision with publishing of the English version in September 2015 and the French version in the fall of 2015. The new Marine Series: C57 Cargo and Goods in Transit Insurances; C58 Marine Hull and Associated Liabilities—Part 1; and C59 Marine Hull and Associated Liabilities—Part 2 is now complete and replaces C53, C54 and C55. The series uses Chartered Insurance Institute textbooks with Canadian Commentaries developed by IIC. We continue to research all aspects of an effective Content Management Strategy (CMS). The research points to an opportunity to develop CIP textbooks in a way that will allow us to manage content more effectively and be able to reuse content. We also anticipate this new model will improve the quality of Institute education materials, which could lead to improved outcomes for students. We have completed an eBooks proof of concept to convert a study to ePUB format. To help inform future direction and strategy, we have included related questions in a recent survey of members to determine interest in eBooks and specific formats preferred by students. The mobile app was launched in November 2014 and included the dictionary of terms as a free resource. In July 2015 we launched Phase II, which includes packages of multiple-choice questions for C11, sold for a nominal fee. Promotion of the app will roll out over the fall 2015, leading up to the December 2015 exam session. The purpose of the project is to test student interest in using mobile technologies. There continues to be strong interest in and positive feedback about the Instructor Certification Program. It is now past the development phase and into normal operations. 14 The Insurance Institute of Canada WEB-BASED PROGRAMS Demand for virtual courses continues to grow. A total of 3,476 students took virtual classes in the 2014-2015 academic year, an increase of 5% over last year. 211 virtual classes were offered during the same period, an increase of 17% over the prior year. EXAMINATIONS Registration numbers for the CIP program have decreased over last year. Registrations for the December 2014 session were down 4.75% from the previous December, April 2015 registrations were up 0.9% and July 2015 registrations were down 7.8% over the previous year. Overall, for the three exam sessions combined, registrations were down 3.3% (623 students) over the prior year. The Computer-based Examinations (CBE) project is proceeding on schedule and within budget, and continues to advance along all fronts. Key components of the project being developed and tested include: exams creation (database; forms); exams delivery (software); exams distribution (centres; proctors); exams marking and grades calculation; and IT integration (Yardstick; Aptify; Website). The timeline for the implementation of computer-based examinations is a twoyear development period followed by a two-year roll-out period. The roll out period begins this coming December 2015 with the first course, C40 Business Interruption Insurance. This course will be followed by two courses in April 2016: C45 Surety Bonds and C72 Introduction to Risk Management and Commercial Lines Insurance. In July 2016, three courses will be offered with CBE format: C66 Financial Service Essentials – Part 1, C112 Practical Issues in Claims Management and C120 Underwriting Essentials. The full roll-out schedule over the two-year transition period is available on the Institute website. We are continuing to develop the foundation of the computer-based examinations project, an examination questions database, in conjunction with our translation team, on a courseby-course basis. When completed, there will nonetheless be an ongoing requirement for questions creation to maintain and refresh the database to sustain all courses. The course-by-course development approach enables proofs of concept to be run to test the functionality of the software systems and key elements of the project, such as the student, proctor and marker experience, the equipment and site set-up, and the delivery of the exams. Ten proofs of concept have been held to-date in various centres across the country, including Montreal using French keyboards and at a corporate exam centre, Train Canada. Extensive quality assurance testing is being done to ensure each aspect created is developed as specified and user acceptance testing is being undertaken to ensure the various elements function in the manner intended. Exam centres will include Institute locations, corporate training centre locations, employer locations, colleges and universities and other sites. The physical and electronic requirements of the sites are being prepared. The CBE pilot was held for course C66 Financial Service Essentials – Part 1, July 14-24 2015. July 14, 2015 was an historic date for the Insurance Institute: it was the first time final exams were offered in a computer-based format where the marks were applied towards student’s course grades. On that day 21 students wrote computer-based examinations, and 35 students overall wrote the pilot computer-based exams. The exams were held on five dates in eleven exam Academic Council Report Continued centres, covering 14 sittings. Grades for students who wrote the computerbased examinations were released approximately two weeks from the date the first exam was written, fulfilling the Institute objective of earlier grades results. The CBE pilot was successful by all standards. No major issues arose and the several minor items which surfaced were quickly and easily resolved and will be addressed prior to the roll-out in December 2015. A survey was sent to the pilot students for feedback on their experience. The majority of students strongly agreed they felt prepared to use the computerbased examination interface after practicing on the tutorial. The majority of students also strongly agreed that the computerbased examination interface was easy to navigate and overall, most students felt the experience with the computerbased examination process was good. Following proofs of concept, students cited the benefits of speed, efficiency, comfort and the use of special features such as bookmarking questions for further review. A comprehensive communications plan and timeline to introduce computer-based examinations to the industry is in place and continues to be updated. Meetings have been held and presentations made to key stakeholders. Articles in the national and local Institute newsletters inform the industry, our members and students of the introduction of computer-based examinations and the roll-out schedule. A Web site page devoted to computerbased examinations introduces students to the change and outlines the benefits of the new examination format. The full course roll-out schedule is available on the site, as is a link to the CBE tutorial. The tutorial walks students through the icons and functionality they will see and use during the examination. Students who have participated in the proofs of concept have been enthusiastic about the experience and have permitted the use of their endorsements in information materials being developed. A CBE toolkit, providing information and answers to frequently asked questions, was developed and distributed to local Institute managers, instructors and proctors. A video being developed, promoting the benefits of CBE, will feature some of the students who participated in the pilot. During the December 2014 examination session, a student had a cell phone sitting on the table in front of them. In addition, during the exam, the student was observed by several proctors looking repeatedly inside their hoody. When approached by several proctors, the student was found to be in possession of another cell phone inside their clothing. The student’s examination was disqualified and the student was suspended for nine consecutive examination sessions (three years). During the April 2015 examination session, a student had a cell phone sitting on their chair between their legs. The proctors were alerted by another student leaving the exam centre. The student’s examination was disqualified and the student was suspended for nine consecutive examination sessions (three years). During the July 2015 examination session, a student had a cell phone sitting on the table under their papers. Upon inspection, the screen on the cell phone displayed study notes related to the course material of the exam they were writing. The student’s examination was disqualified and the student was suspended for nine consecutive examination sessions (three years). GENERAL INSURANCE ESSENTIALS December 2014 had an increase of 40% in the registration numbers from the previous year, April 2015 had an increase of 4% and July 2015 registrations decreased 24%. For the three exam sessions, total registrations were up 11% from the previous year. A Curriculum Advisory Committee was established in 2014 to review the content of the GIE courses. New course outlines were developed and re-writes of these materials will take place over the next 18 to 20 months. LICENSING This past year, there has been a great deal of activity across the country with respect to curriculum for licensing and leveraging Insurance Institute materials and courses as equivalencies or to prepare people to write provincial exams. In June 2015, the Institute responded to a request from the Alberta Insurance Council to review Institute courses as equivalencies for levels 1, 2 and 3 broker licensing. We are awaiting the outcome of this process. The Institute received notice from the Insurance Council of Manitoba that they will now accept Institute courses as equivalencies for levels 1 and 2 broker licensing. The next step is to develop an exam for level 1 that can be offered on demand. The Insurance Council of Saskatchewan (ICS) has developed new curriculum for licensing. The Institute was invited to comment on the draft for level 1 licensing, which was done in July 2015. We are waiting to hear the final outcomes of the changes to the level 1 curriculum as well as the impact on course equivalencies. ICS has also drafted new curriculum for levels 2 and 3 licensing. We are waiting to see these documents and hopefully will have the opportunity to provide comment. The Executive Director of the ICS is also the chairperson of Canadian Insurance Services Regulatory Organizations (CISRO). We have heard that other provinces may adopt the new curriculum that Saskatchewan has developed. If so, this presents an opportunity to align the new GIE 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 15 Academic Council Report Continued materials with this curriculum and ultimately provide better preparation materials for licensing candidates across the country. LIFE LICENSE QUALIFICATION PROGRAM – LLQP Registrations for the academic year September 2014 to August 2015 were down 17% (8) over the previous year. be used in place of two CIP electives. The program will be delivered online, in a facilitated, asynchronous model. Once the program is established and where demand exists, they can also be delivered in-class through the local institutes. The new harmonization structure for LLQP, including the change to uniform curriculum, is scheduled to go into effect in January 2016. The Institute is continuing to assess the value in continuing to be a provider and will be finalizing a decision in the next several months. The first course launched in September 2015 in English and will launch in French in January 2016. The second and third courses will follow each term until the program is fully launched. As with Advanced CIP, registrations have exceeded expectations and capacity. Registrations for September were capped at 85 and we already have more than 50 people registered for January. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS The suite of Management Development courses includes: The new four course Advanced CIP Certificate Program is positioned as the next step to the CIP program and a bridge to the FCIP program. Learners will develop business and finance acumen, as well as critical thinking and communication skills. The courses, delivered online, in a facilitated, asynchronous model, include: A300 Critical Thinking for Insurance Professionals; A310 Business Foundations for Insurance Professionals; C112, C122 or C132; plus one CIP elective. • Essential Management Skills (3 Days) • Think on Your Feet (2 Days) • Attracting and Retaining a MultiGenerational Workforce (1 Day) • Building Better Work Relationships (1 Day) A300 and A310 are open to all Institute members, not only those pursuing the certificate. A300 English launched in September 2015 and will launch in French in January 2016. A310 will launch in English in January 2016. Registrations for September have exceeded expectations and capacity. Registrations were capped at 75 and January 2016 registration was opened. The Institute has been approved to offer the three courses that qualify for the Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation. These will form the Institute’s new Risk Management Certificate Program. If all three courses are completed through IIC, they may 16 The Insurance Institute of Canada We have delivered these four courses to over 1500 participants since 2010. In 2014, through a combination of inhouse and public offerings, 15 courses were offered to 233 participants. In 2015, three courses were delivered, including one offering of Essential Management Skills (English) in Montreal. A full schedule is planned for fall 2015. The P&C Insurance: Essentials for Board Members and Directors one-day course was created to provide general education on p&c insurance for people coming into Board or executive level roles, who are new to the industry. To-date, we have delivered four custom courses and one public course. We continue to develop leads for custom courses and will offer another public course when demand exists. The program has received very positive feedback and seems to be gaining awareness. In May 2015, the Executive Committee approved a proposal for a project to develop a suite of eLearning courses, designed for licensed insurance professionals (brokers, agents and adjusters), to fulfill their annual continuing education requirements. We are partnering with Yardstick (the company that is providing the CBE platform) to develop high end courses (pedagogically and using contemporary learning technologies). Courses will be one hour long and delivered on demand and online. The first course will be piloted in January 2016 and ten courses will be developed by June 2016. The objective is to sell subscriptions, so that people have access to a suite of courses, for a defined period of time. We will continue to add and update courses, including delivery in French. FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM ORIGINAL TRACK There are 2,526 students registered in the original track Fellowship program. The number of graduates to-date is 160, up 4% from the prior year. The number of Fellowship students enrolled in at least one FCIP course from mid-October 2014 to mid-October 2015 is 288, down 29% from the prior year. To ensure all students in the Original Track FCIP Program are aware of the pending completion deadline in sufficient time to complete their courses in order to graduate, the following message is sent to all students annually in the fall: Please note the following two deadlines for completion of the original track FCIP program: • All ten courses required for graduation must be completed no later than December 31, 2017. • All course registrations and grade results must be received at the Insurance Institute no later than April 30, 2018. • These deadlines are final. Students are strongly advised to plan to complete Academic Council Report Continued all requirements well ahead of these deadlines, to allow for contingencies. FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM – CURRENT Admission and Registration Since program admission first opened on June 1, 2010, a total of 471 candidates have been granted admission to the new program. Some have chosen to defer the start of their first course. For the fall 2015 semester, 147 candidates are registered in the six FCIP courses. Graduates The second cohort of 26 candidates completed the new FCIP program in spring 2015 and will be recognized at local convocation ceremonies through fall 2015 and winter 2016. The 34 candidates who are beginning the F560 capstone course this September are the third cohort to complete the entire program and include representation from nine institutes and chapters. Feedback and Enhancements After each term, candidates are invited to complete an online survey about their experience in the course. As of April 2015, 76% of those respondents had rated their course as either excellent or good. All candidate feedback helps to shape course updates and enhancements, such as updating selected readings, changing the weighting or focus of certain assignments, shifting the discussion focus in some courses and building in additional feedback on discussion contributions, adjusting grading rubrics for program-wide consistency and for F560, revising materials and processes in response to suggestions from evaluators and candidates. Program Entry The new Advanced CIP qualification, launched in September 2015, will allow us to address FCIP feedback about program entry and the challenges of advanced business studies. Three of the four courses in the Advanced CIP are specifically designed to foster the business awareness and critical thinking skills that are needed both for FCIP studies and for responsible business roles. For Institute members who do not hold undergraduate degrees, completion of the Advanced CIP plus five years of relevant work experience will provide access to the FCIP program. In addition, the Advanced CIP may also provide useful FCIP preparation for degreeholders with little prior exposure to business studies. Communication Activities The Institute’s Business Development and Communications team has engaged in focused conversations with targeted p&c organizations about their professional development needs, and has conducted personal outreach to potential FCIP registrants. Two FCIP Q&A webinars were held in the first week of May and an additional webinar was held at the end of September 2015. With the launch of the Advanced CIP program, which provides preparation for FCIP study, the webinar was positioned as being about study options beyond the CIP. The webinars give potential candidates a chance to ask questions of a current or recent student, a course facilitator and an Institute representative. Ongoing communication activities include: • A pre-application self-assessment quiz available online at www. insuranceinstitute.ca/AreYouReady. This is designed to enhance retention by helping potential candidates • • • • • • • understand how best to prepare for the program. A “virtual tour” video series available at www.insuranceinstitute.ca/fcip. The series features candidates from the first graduating cohort discussing their experiences in the program and the benefits they’ve derived from individual courses. Two other videos are currently in use (one in English, one in French) featuring high-profile industry executives discussing the FCIP program as professional development for the insurance industry. Institute participation in Learning Council / HR VP meetings to promote the program at the decision-maker level. Outreach to C16 students through local institutes/chapters, including distribution of printed FCIP information materials and announcements/ messaging by instructors. Other outreach by local institutes/ chapters. Resources available include sales brochures, a library of testimonials, the FCIP videos and an in-house “FCIP tool kit”. These resources are also made available for industry HR departments to post on their company intranets. Regular advertisements in the insurance press, including digital ads linking to the videos and the selfassessment tool. Media releases issued to highlight new courses and other developments which have led to editorial coverage on several occasions.

CIP SOCIETY Since 1998, the CIP Society has been working to advance the education, experience, ethics and excellence of our members – the graduates of the Institute. This report provides an update on the activities of the Society this past year, including: two special projects – research and mentoring –and the four main areas of programs and services – Membership, Professional Development, Information Resources and Promotion. SPECIAL PROJECTS EMERGING ISSUES RESEARCH SERIES Second in the Series: At its May meeting, the Executive Committee approved the research and publication of the second in the Emerging Issues Research Series: “Autonomous Vehicles: Implications for the Insurance Industry in Canada.” Paul Kovacs has once again been commissioned to write the report. The literature review and industry interviews are underway, a benchmarking survey of Institute members’ awareness of the issues is proposed for October distribution, and a first draft of the report is due at the end of the calendar year. The final report will be published and ready for distribution in April 2016. The recommendation to pursue this topic was substantiated with the rationale that: Driverless cars and trucks – “autonomous vehicles on our roads and highways” – (and the evolution that will take us from full driver to no driver and various alternatives) will have significant risk implications for the industry and consumers in Canada. Critical mass may seem like a long time away, but impactful change is happening very quickly and in the short term. The AV movement is being accelerated by technological capabilities (car manufacturers are testing current capacity and anticipate fully functioning driverless cars by 2020 or sooner), nontraditional interested parties (Google, for example), testing and trials already underway (US, UK). These forces are prodding regulators and insurance organizations to be in a position to respond. Six months after approval, this rationale is even more significant: The volume on this topic has certainly risen since May with nearly daily news stories and increased conversations and conferences. The timing for the release of our research paper should allow us to successfully add informed content to the discussion. First in the Series | Update: The CIP Society is very proud to have published the first Emerging Issues Research Report: “Cyber Risks: Implications for the Insurance Industry in Canada” released in May 2015 in English and French. We are pleased that we have received a number of requests for copies of the report for distribution at national conferences and stakeholder meetings this Fall, requiring additional print runs. The report is also available for download from our website; to date over 1,400 copies have been downloaded. We are confident that the report provides the foundational and formative research on the implications of cyber risks and threats to the Canadian p&c insurance industry – both in terms of insurance organizations protecting themselves and insurance professionals protecting Canadian organizations. Mentoring ADVANTAGE | Update: The CIP Society was very proud to launch Mentoring ADVANTAGE, a microsite found at: www.insuranceinstitute.ca/ mentoring, in January 2015. Featured on the site is a wealth of information and education, resources and tools for mentors and mentees to form effective mentoring relationships and for organizations to implement mentoring programs internally. Promotion of the program is ongoing through newsletter 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 25 Professionals’ Council Report Continued articles, webinars, and presentations and communications to HR representatives. Since January 1, 2015, we have had 9,642 page views on our mentoring ADVANTAGE website. Society provides nationally and locally. As with each survey, data relevant to the local Chapters / Institutes is passed along to local managers for their information and action. Overall Satisfaction 93% of the 2014 respondents rated their level of satisfaction with the CIP Society as ‘Good’, ‘Very Good’ or ‘Excellent.’ This has been relatively stable since 2008. UPDATES ON OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES: The November 2014 survey had a response rate of 15% with a total of 2,320 respondents. Highlights of the findings include: Planning for the November 2015 survey At its September 2015 meeting, the CIP Society National Council discussed the questions to be asked in this year’s survey. As part of the discussion, the council reviewed the changes to the survey over the last few years. Namely, we have looked to the survey to benchmark topical issues facing the CIP Society and to inform the development and/or delivery of new programs and services. For example, we have asked questions related to: readership/ communication vehicles (2010), social media and devices (2011), professional ethics (2013) and mentoring (2014). Membership This year, the Society’s membership for the membership year June 1st, 2014 to May 31st, 2015 grew to 17,515, an increase of 109 members over the previous membership year. This total includes 14,104 CIPs and 3,411 FCIPs. Member Perks Program The Society’s MemberPerks program continues to enjoy year over year growth – both in terms of new accounts and members who have opted-in to receive the MemberPerks e-newsletter. The program is promoted with continuous reminders through ADVANTAGE Quarterly and Daily and, member engagement continues to be solid with between 33% and 40% of the member base enrolling, opting-in to receive e-newsletters and/or accessing the site. In 2011, we signed onto a four year agreement, at a fee, with Venngo the provider of this service, to ensure the program continued to be offered to our members as a value-added service. With the contract expiring in September, Council considered the popularity of the program, the cost of going forward, and the value-add to our members. Council recommended renewing the contract in order to continue to provide this benefit to our members. The contract with Venngo was renewed for another three years and will expire August 31, 2018. Annual Membership Survey Each year we benchmark our members’ perceptions and interest in the programs and services that the CIP 26 The Insurance Institute of Canada Advanced CIP There were two new topics added to the survey in 2014, the first of which was the Advanced CIP program. The results show that nearly half of all respondents (47% of English and 48% of Frenchspeaking respondents) think that the new Advanced CIP program will be ‘valuable’ or ‘very valuable’ to them personally, and about three quarters of respondents (72% of English and 78% of French-speaking respondents) think that the new Advanced CIP program will be ‘valuable’ to the industry. Mentoring The second new topic of questions added to the survey in 2014 was about mentoring. Before the launch of the new ‘mentoring ADVANTAGE’ site, our members were asked about mentoring to establish a benchmark for measuring the success of the new resource. Members were asked questions about the value of mentoring, their experiences with mentoring, and their willingness to enter into mentoring relationships in the future. Open-ended comments about what our respondents attribute to their levels of dissatisfaction with their mentoring relationships correlate with the materials developed by the CIP Society. In other words, dissatisfaction levels were attributed to aspects such as “lack of organization” and “poor selection of mentor,” and these have been addressed on the site with resources to help improve goal-setting and matching. The Council decided that for the upcoming survey of members, we would remove the questions on mentoring, having established a good benchmark on that topic, but would include questions on our communications vehicles (namely Advantage Quarterly), in order to benchmark members’ readership of the publication as the Council evaluates the effectiveness of moving the newsletter from print to digital delivery. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Continuous Learning for Graduates Advanced CIP The Council is pleased to see the launch of this new program – and especially excited to see the number of registrations for the first course. ADVANTAGE LIVE Webinars The 2015 ADVANTAGE LIVE webinar series features a number of changes from the previous (inaugural 15th anniversary) year: Professionals’ Council Report Continued (1) with the Winter/Spring series, we increased the price of the webinar to match local pricing (from the special anniversary pricing of $15 to the comparable price of $65) with a revenue sharing agreement between the CIP Society and local Institutes (which encourages/supports promotional efforts at the local level). However, with the realization that the soft skills/ personal development webinars are not well attended at the $65 price point, we priced the first two webinars of the Fall series at $15; and (2) we coordinated CE credits nationally where applicable. The Winter/Spring (March to June) 2015 period featured four webinars: • Future of Auto Insurance: From semiautonomous to driverless (38 registrants) • Future of Claims: New technologies, social media and claims management (51 registrants) • Urban Flooding: Cities reducing the risk (43 registrants) and • Networking: Being social online (originally scheduled for June 2, was postponed to the Fall, due to lack of registrants) The Fall (September to December) 2015 series is featuring four webinars: • Leadership in mentoring: Seven steps to being a great mentor, September 22 > (59 registrants) • Social media: Five ways to network online (postponed from June), October 22 • Uber and Airbnb: Insurance in the sharing economy, November 3 • Rise of the Drones: Insurance products and claims investigations, week of November 30 TBC National Leadership Awards The CIP Society’s National Leadership Awards Selection Committee is pleased to announce this year’s recipient is Emerging Leader, Bryan Bedford, FCIP, Manager Strategic Projects and Privacy Office at Peel Mutual Insurance Company, Brampton, ON. Bryan will be presented with his award at the IIOGTA convocation in January 2016. This year’s recipient brings the number of leaders inducted into the CIP Society Leadership Circle to 32 (14 Established and 18 Emerging). Professional Ethics The CIP Society hosts an annual workshop on ethics in January, during which members and industry representatives come together to discuss ethics in the industry and develop an editorial lineup for the year’s ethics columns in Canadian Underwriter. The CIP Society has been coordinating this ethics column since 2007, positioning the CIP Society as actively engaged in evolving the ethical thinking and practice of our members and the insurance community. The columns are available online (without a password) to the industry’s benefit. In addition to the self-study provided by the columns, the Society’s ethics program now includes an in-class learning opportunity. A three-hour in-person seminar has been developed to give insurance professionals a good foundation to discuss the complexities of ethical decision-making, and to provide them with a framework to work confidently through an ethical dilemma. The promotion of this seminar will focus on “ethics is good business” and that understanding how to identify and resolve ethical dilemmas is a professional skill that should be practiced. The CIP Society is happy to report that a general seminar will be hosted by the Insurance Institute of Manitoba in November. As well, based on the success of a series of in-house presentations to the employees of an Ontario brokerage, the CIP Society is focusing its efforts on packaging the ethics seminar for brokerages and HR departments. This approach reflects our initial thoughts about promoting the seminar, as we anticipated that individuals would have a hard time self-identifying as requiring/ wanting ethics training. The success of this seminar within the industry will be better served by organizations adopting a top-down approach or organizationalwide learning opportunity. We will be working closely with local managers to help promote the seminar in this way. Rhind Scholarships Since the first Rhind Scholarship was awarded in 2004, and including this year’s four recipients, the Society has awarded 31 $1,000 scholarships to members and/or their dependents. Scholarships are awarded based on need in three cascading tiers: • CIP Society members pursuing their FCIP designation which is not otherwise supported by employer; • CIP Society members enrolled in insurance-related professional development which is not otherwise supported by employer (and to be added to the application form going forward: including Advanced CIP and Risk Management Certificate programs); (and, if scholarships still remain:) • Dependents of CIP Society members who are pursuing post-secondary education in a field that focuses directly on, or that would impact significantly on, the property and casualty insurance industry and/or related financial services. The 2015 Rhind Scholarship Selection Committee awarded four $1,000 scholarships for the 2015-2016 academic year to: • Alayham Hammami (CIP Society member pursuing continuing professional development; from London, ON); • Natalee Sinclair (CIP Society member pursuing continuing professional 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 27 Professionals’ Council Report Continued development; from Vancouver, BC); • Ryan McKenna (son of CIP Society member Stephen E. McKenna; from Sydenham, ON); and • Dylan Boilard (son of CIP Society member Blair Boilard; from Elliot Lake, ON). INFORMATION RESOURCES The ADVANTAGE of membership is the availability of Information Services for members AT ALL HOURS (website) and on a DAILY, MONTHLY and QUARTERLY basis. And as the membership survey confirms, these are valued benefits of membership. www.insuranceinstitute.ca/ cipsociety The CIP Society section of the Insurance Institute website continues to gain traction as members seek or get connected to our programs and services and access to exclusive member content. ADVANTAGE Daily: the news in brief/ AVANTAGE Hebdomadaire: les nouvelles en bref Consistently, ADVANTAGE Daily has an open rate that hovers around 30%, and a click rate that similarly hovers around 30%. ADVANTAGE Monthly: emerging trends and issues The CIP Society has been producing a monthly trends paper on hot topics in the industry, with the help of three experienced writers, since 2007. To date, we have 80+ papers on topics ranging from natural disasters and catastrophes, to fraud, to legal issues and liability, to pandemics, to specialty lines. The online library features categorization by topic making the papers searchable by year and topic; and that is in addition to the search function on the website, itself. Recently, as a pilot, we posted two of our trends papers (on Uber and Airbnb) 28 The Insurance Institute of Canada as online web articles and linked to them from our ADVANTAGE Daily e-newsletter, without hiding them behind member login. These papers generated a significant amount of traffic – over 1000 individual hits for Uber and 500 hits for Airbnb, with an average time on page of over 6 minutes, and retweets and posting on LinkedIn – which is immensely more than our other PDF papers have received in the ADVANTAGE Monthly library. At its September meeting, the CIP Society National Council discussed and agreed that the ADVANTAGE Monthly trends papers would better serve Society members and the industry at large by being moved out from behind the Member Login and made available to all. The Council is confident that by increasing access and information sharing to this robust online resource, that our membership will recognize the value to themselves and to the industry. A council task force will review the current library of papers and provide recommendations for selections to be made available publicly. As well, with the new process, the trends papers will be authored in a consistent style and they will be available in both English and French. This change will be introduced in early 2016. ADVANTAGE Quarterly: the pulse of the industry ADVANTAGE Quarterly is the last of the Institute publications to still be printed and mailed to members. When we surveyed members in 2010, respondents were somewhat divided in their support of electronic vs. printed newsletters. Society Council maintains a similar division of support between methods of delivery as per discussion at the September meeting. To help inform a decision regarding the value of moving ADVANTAGE Quarterly to a digital format, Council approved replicating the questions from 2010 in this year’s membership survey in order to benchmark members’ preferences with the publication. PROMOTION Promoting the Society With a proposed change in membership benefits, like the trends papers becoming available to all, it warranted a review of our positioning going forward. Since 2008, our positioning has been how ‘Members Benefit’ by being individual members of the Society, by taking advantage of all the programs and services offered. At its September meeting, Council agreed that it seems fitting to shift the perspective a little away from “how I benefit” as an individual member to “how we all benefit” from a CIP Society that is advancing professionals in the industry. Proposed shift in positioning the CIP Society: CIP Society, as your professional association, is continuously working on your behalf and on behalf of the industry, to advance the education, experience, ethics and excellence of our members. Here’s how your membership in the Society benefits you > Members benefit: • Industry news from Canada and around the world, delivered to your inbox daily in our e-newsletter, ADVANTAGE Daily • Continuous learning through our new Advanced CIP program, the Risk Management Certificate program, the ADVANTAGE Live webinar series, the PROedge seminar series, professional development courses, and the prestigious FCIP program. • Savings on everyday buys, special purchases and trips through our member savings program, MemberPerks Professionals’ Council Report Continued Here’s how your membership in the Society contributes to enhancing the profession and advancing the industry > Strength in numbers: • Generating awareness of the designations to consumers through our nation-wide advertising and promotion campaigns • Raising the bar for professionalism and excellence in the industry through our National Leadership Awards program • Promoting professional ethics through our quarterly ethics columns in Canadian Underwriter • Encouraging effective mentoring relationships in the industry through our mentoring ADVANTAGE resources • Providing an online library of emerging trends papers (ADVANTAGE Monthly); providing research papers on hot topics and legal issues • Publishing research on the demographics of the industry’s workforce and most recently, on Cyber Risks as the first in our Emerging Issues Research Series; helping the industry make informed decisions about critical issues • Supporting Career Connections outreach promoting careers in insurance to meet the recruitment needs of the industry; and coming soon, • Developing career pathing resources promoting career opportunities for those in the industry. We hope you are proud to be a member of the CIP Society given these many membership benefits and industry contributions. Promoting the Designations to Consumers At its September meeting, Council was pleased to learn about additional activities and new directions for promoting the CIP designation to consumers; in particular: 1.the matte stories and audio news release results for local newspapers and radio stations across the country; 2.the Value of CIP study and the new www.BeAssured.ca website and campaign; and 3.the new advertisements and placements for the coming year: PROMOTING CAREERS IN INSURANCE – CAREER CONNECTIONS This report provides a summary of the activities of the Career Connections program including the: 1.Four Point Strategic Plan that continues to define our programming each year: • Increase awareness of careers in insurance > through our messaging • Put a face to the industry > through our messengers/ambassadors • Provide a gateway to careers in insurance > through our extensive, national outreach • Work together to attract the employees of the future > through our network within the industry and hosting of career fairs and other insurance-specific activities. 2.Update on the project to refresh and augment our resources, as approved at the Executive Committee meeting in May, 2014. Four Point Strategic Plan Messaging: • Focus groups and roundtables with industry recruiters keep our messaging relevant and our strategic direction on track. • Promoting careers in insurance through our most prominent positioning statements is working: “Insurance has a workforce of over 120,000 strong and careers as diverse as its people.” “Whatever your background, there’s a place for you in insurance.” “Your interests and experience may add up to a great career in insurance.” “You may be surprised to find that insurance isn’t what you think. It’s a whole lot more.” • Career Connections receives many compliments, particularly from career centres and career advisers, about the wealth of information and resources available through our brochures, postcards, and particularly our website with videos, online quizzes, links to employers, links to education, credentialing and licensing, as well as job postings. Messengers: • A large roster of ambassadors > 328 • These are industry professionals who have stepped forward with an enthusiasm to promote careers in insurance. Some have been part of corporate initiatives; others have made individual commitments to give back to the industry in this way. Thankfully, Career Connections has many messengers to promote careers in insurance as broadly as possible. EXTENSIVE NATIONAL OUTREACH: High School Outreach: • Reached 6,500+ high school students in 258 classroom presentations. • Reached more than 110,000 high school students at 31 career fairs across the country. • Distributed more than 4,000 teachers’ resources at teacher conferences across the country – Career Kits, Know Your Risk, Risk Responsibility Reality, You’re IN Business, and Forces of Nature –encouraging teachers to teach about insurance in the classroom. Post-Secondary School Outreach: • Promoted careers in insurance on 52 college and university campuses across the country. • Reached 85,000 post-secondary students at 55 general career fairs and presentations. • Reached 6,500 post-secondary students at the 45 insurance-specific career fairs and panel presentations 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 29 Professionals’ Council Report Continued hosted by Career Connections. Some of these events netted us our largest audiences (of those self-selecting to attend an insurance-specific event) to date: o 300+ attendees at a career fair we hosted in Calgary in September 2014, and o 530+ participants in an online ‘office hour’ facilitated by Career Connections’ Trevor Buttrum as part of Talent Egg’s “Insurance Week” promotion. • Participated as hosts and panel presenters to corporate tours in Toronto of students from Dalhousie, UBC, and Thompson River Universities. • Expanded our outreach in Montreal, from a panel presentation and speed networking at Concordia University last year, to become an information session and career fair for students from all 4 universities in Montreal. The industry employers were enthusiastic to participate. • All in, reached more than 90,000 post-secondary students and grads across the country. An update on our outreach in Quebec: Career Connections had been increasing our outreach at universities in Montreal and Quebec City over the last five years – expanding from first year coverage of the English speaking universities’ career fairs to outreach at the French university career fairs to insurance specific programming connecting employers with potential candidates from the four Montreal universities this past year. During this past summer, we have been informed that La Coalition will be expanding their mandate beyond outreach to high school and CEGEP students to now include outreach at the university level. Given the enthusiasm of industry employers in Montreal to participate in our 30 The Insurance Institute of Canada career events and get connected to potential candidates, it is not a surprise that Quebec organizations are looking for more outreach at the university level. Career Connections and La Coalition agreed to partner on this Fall’s Quebec university career fair schedule calling upon both rosters of ambassadors. Going forward, we will provide additional information upon request as La Coalition expands their university outreach – and anticipate a proportionate decline in involvement in Quebec by Career Connections. Career Changers: • Reached 6,000 career changers and internationally trained professionals (ITPs) by hosting 20 events promoting careers in insurance. In addition, we have engaged with career changers at a variety of community events like Ontario University Fair, Alberta Employment Fair, etc. • Developed a partnership with the Consortium of Agencies Serving International-trained Persons (CASIP), which brought them to our expert roundtable, provided an opportunity to present an in-service to their advisors, hosted a panel presentation at the Institute, and presentations to students in their bridging programs. • Presented on a ‘Careers in Financial Services’ panel to 180+ delegates attending the annual Internationally Educated Professionals (IEP) conference in Toronto, as part of our expanding outreach strategy for this audience (evolving from attending to exhibiting to presenting). Social Media: • Our videos on Youtube and our website have been viewed more than 89,000 times. • Our followers on Twitter have grown to 254, organically, as we follow and tweet more with post-secondary institutions, community career centres, other partners, and potential candidates. • Our social ad campaigns (targeted google ads at the point when career seekers are googling related themes) are contributing greatly to the increase in website and jobsite traffic. Website: • The number of unique visitors to our website doubled year over year! Between August 1, 2014 and July 31, 2015, we had 134,219 unique visitors to our website (compared to 87,000+ for the same period last year); that’s 11,100+ unique users per month. • Job site in particular is extremely popular, with 60,177 unique visitors this year to date; that’s 5,015 unique users per month. • Content on the website is engaging our visitors as they take our quiz (8,000) and visit our resume and networking sections (1950). Working Together: • Career Connections leverages partnerships, inside and outside of the industry, to the fullest. • We work closely with industry employers encouraging participation in our ambassador program, in our panels and career fairs, in our annual roundtables, and in promotion of the program. • We form strategic networks with industry associations, industry and education councils and career services organizations to promote careers in insurance as extensively as possible. • Career Connections receives regular confirmation from employers that many have sourced potential candidates and/or hired from participating in our career events. Project to Refresh and Augment our Resources Following project approval at the May 2014 Executive Committee, we proceeded with our plan to refresh and augment our resources. Here is a status report on our progress: Professionals’ Council Report Continued Objectives: • To leverage the increased number and engagement of youth in the industry by incorporating youthful insurance professionals, such as graduates of the full-time insurance programs, into our materials. This would provide for representation of the echo cohort (under 32) in our resources and could also serve as promotion for the college programs as an entry point to the industry. • To enable internationally-trained professionals (ITPs) to ‘see themselves’ as having a place in the industry through our materials. Activities: Information Gathering: Roundtables and Focus Groups – Completed From the roundtable discussions that Career Connections hosts once or twice a year in key centres like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Conestoga, we have clear information that companies are diversifying their recruitment strategies and, for some, looking to us to help with that outreach. General consensus at these roundtables confirms that with more targeted materials that speak to these potential candidates – with more specific messaging about transferable skill sets and key roles in the industry that are difficult to fill – that employers would make use of these resources. These roundtable discussions – with representatives of the industry’s top 20 insurers – continue to inform and provide insight to Career Connections’ strategic direction and cultivate strong relationships with the HR recruiters and hiring managers. As part of the project plan, we conducted a roundtable discussion in October 2014 with experts who provide career services to Internationallytrained/ Internationally-educated professionals (ITPs/IEPs). This was very informative to the process of determining how best to provide information and resources to those who may have transferable skills into insurance. This group is very enthusiastic about the links they can make to insurance and look forward to having resources at the ready to share with their clients. As well, we conducted four focus groups in November 2014 with these key audiences: a.ITPs: thinking about a career in insurance b.ITPs: in the industry c.Youth: new to the industry/recent grads of college programs d.Youth: new to the industry/recent grads of non-insurance specific education. The focus groups helped us understand how each of these groups felt about the opportunities and barriers to a career in insurance. The insights have helped inform our messaging going forward and how we are refreshing and augmenting our materials. Creative Development New and Refreshing of Videos – Completed We identified 5 new ‘spokespeople’ to be videotaped and to represent our new ‘marketing representative’ and ‘actuary’ roles, as well as to represent ‘a college grad,’ ‘a university grad’ and ‘an ITP’ talking about what they like about their careers in insurance. We refreshed the other 7 roles and the full-length videos. And we created an additional video providing three themed answers to the question “Why choose a career in insurance?” All are uploaded to Youtube and our website. We are quite excited about the new videos. We anticipate the 4-minute video featuring ‘a college grad talking about his career in insurance” will be appealing to the coordinators of the full-time insurance programs and have provided links and connection points for their program websites. We think the “Why choose a career in insurance?” becomes a great asset for twitter and social media. Revamping Brochures – Completed Information gathered in the focus groups has been informing the revamping of the high school, postsecondary school and career changer brochures. Final English brochures were printed and have been put into circulation for the Fall calendar of career fairs. The French post-secondary brochure – featuring our francophone ‘ambassadors’ – was finalized and printed in time for the Quebec university circuit this September. The addition of a promotional post card promoting the jobsite is already proving to be an excellent resource. Banner Stands – Completed and in Distribution New banner stands were created for most of the local Institutes and Chapters and are being disseminated as events roll out across the country. We look forward to continuing the evolution of Career Connections messaging and career resources, as we continue in our mission: To improve the understanding of insurance, illustrate its role in society, and encourage young adults and career seekers to pursue one of the many skilled professions available in the insurance industry. Since 2003, Career Connections has taken the lead in promoting awareness about the rewarding and varied careers available in insurance. We are confident that our outreach year over year to 200,000 + people (students, graduates, career changers, internationally trained professionals, career advisors, teachers, and partners) increases the pool of interested, talented and informed candidates available to meet the growing recruitment needs of our industry. The success of Career Connections’ outreach and employers’ hiring is reflected in: 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 31 Professionals’ Council Report Continued (1) the demographic research studies that demonstrate significant increases in youth recruitment since 2007; and HR representatives confirm that our efforts to promote careers in insurance are contributing to little difficulty and less urgency when recruiting for entry-level roles; and (2) the growth in the full-time insurance programs, increasing from 4 in 2007 to the current 12 college programs across Canada. Providing a pipeline of graduates who have chosen to study about insurance in order to work in the industry.

The reports have been examined by the Finance Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Governors for presentation to this meeting. The Insurance Institute finished its fiscal year with a good result turning in an operating surplus in each of its three divisions on solid revenues and excellent expense control by management. Under the guidance of the Institute’s investment firm Foyston, Gordon & Payne Inc. and oversight by the Finance Committee, the Institute’s investments posted riskappropriate gains during a year that experienced significant market volatility. 36 The Insurance Institute of Canada Despite a challenging year for industry employers and employees, Institute membership slipped slightly by only 0.5% to finish the year at 39,097 members, buoyed by a continued focus on membership renewals and strong local institute initiatives. CIP Society membership increased by a modest 0.6% to reach another new high of 17,515 members. would like to record our thanks to employers for their ongoing support of the Institutes through their voluntary subscriptions, permitting their staff to participate as resources to the Institute and as volunteers, and for the continuing encouragement they provide to motivate their employees to complete their professional qualifications. The audited financial statements are self-explanatory and show that our reserves and operating positions are strong, and I move for their acceptance and approval at this time. Respectfully submitted, J.R. (Bob) Tisdale, MBA, FCIP, CRM, ICD.D Deputy Chair, Board of Governors Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the The Insurance Institute of Canada/L'Institut d'Assurance du Canada which comprise the balance sheet at July 31, 2015 and the statements of the Special Projects Reserve Fund, Funds Invested in Capital Assets, Contingency Reserve Fund, General Operations Fund, Career Connections Fund, Professionals' Society Fund, Revenue and Expenditures ‑ General Operations, Revenue and Expenditures ‑ Career Connections, Revenue and Expenditures ‑ Professionals' Society and cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not‑for‑profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

44 The Insurance Institute of Canada Financial Statements The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2015 1. Significant Accounting Policies Purpose of Institute The Institute is a non‑profit organization incorporated under the laws of Canada. The Institute is dedicated to providing educational courses and resources to the insurance community. The Institute works in conjunction with the Provincial Institutes to support their delivery of educational programs through the development of a uniform standard of insurance education. The Institute is a non‑profit organization and, as such, is exempt from income tax. Basis of Accounting The Institute follows the deferral method of accounting. Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis, whereby they are reflected in the accounts in the period in which they have been earned and incurred, respectively, whether or not such transactions have been finally settled by the receipt or payment of money. Revenue Recognition Membership fee revenue is recognized over the term of the membership period. Agents licensing, tuition, and examination fees are recognized upon completion of the course or event. National subscribers revenue is recognized over the term of the annual subscription. Fellowship program revenue is recognized as the service is provided. Other revenues are recognized upon provision of the goods or service. Instructional Materials Instructional materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is generally determined on a first‑in, first‑out basis. Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization based on the estimated useful life of the asset is charged directly to Funds Invested in Capital Assets from the date the asset is put in use as follows: Computer equipment and software‑ 4 years straight line basis Leasehold improvements‑ 5 years straight line basis Office equipment‑ 4 years straight line basis Long term investments consist of term deposits and bond and equity funds which are capable of reasonably prompt liquidation but are being held long term and are stated at market value. Investment income includes unrealized gains or losses for investments held at the balance sheet date. Long Term Investments Transfers to/from Provincial Institutes The surplus accounts of Provincial Institutes are generally maintained at amounts agreed upon with The Insurance Institute of Canada. Balances in excess of the agreed amounts become payable to The Insurance Institute of Canada with the exception of additional agreed amounts appropriated to reserve accounts. Any operating deficits are potentially recoverable from The Insurance Institute of Canada subject to review and approval by the Executive Committee in accordance with the Provincial and/or Local Institute Financing Guidelines. 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 45 Financial Statements The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2015 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue results from the following: (a) National subscribers revenue recognized on a calendar year basis; (b) The receipt of distance learning course registration fees for programs administered after the year end, net of related expenses incurred before year end. (c) The receipt of Professionals' Society membership fees relating to membership for the following year. (d) Other amounts received in advance of the revenue being earned. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not‑for‑profit organizations requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at that date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. Employee Future Benefits The Institute operates a defined benefit pension plan, available to certain employees, whose funds are administered independently of the Institute's finances. Funding is effected in accordance with independent actuarial advice. The Institute recognizes a liability and an expense for its defined benefit plan in the period in which employees render services in return for the benefits. The accrued benefit obligation is determined using the actuarial valuation for funding purposes based on management's best estimates and other factors. The current service costs and finance costs are included in income for the period, while remeasurements and other items are charged directly to net assets as they occur. The Institute also operates a defined contribution pension plan for certain employees. The Institute's pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are due. Contributions are a defined amount based upon a set percentage of salary. Foreign currency accounts are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: Foreign Currency Translation 46 The Insurance Institute of Canada At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into Canadian dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income in the current period. Financial Statements The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2015 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Instruments Financial Instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued. In subsequent periods, term deposits and bond and equity funds are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in income. All other financial instruments are reported at cost or amortized cost less impairment, if applicable. Financial assets are tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate the asset could be impaired. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of financial instruments are expensed for those items remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date and charged to the financial instrument for those measured at amortized cost. Allocation of Expenses The Institute incurs salaries and benefits expenses and general and administrative support expenses that are common to the administration of the Institute and to each program that it operates. Salaries and benefits are allocated based on Executive Committee approval which approximates the percentage of time spent on that program. General and administrative support expenses are allocated proportionately on the basis of the total costs of the programs. 2. Change in Accounting for Employee Future Benefits Effective August 1, 2014, The Institute has adopted the new CPA Canada accounting standard Section 3463 Reporting Employee Future Benefits by Not‑for‑Profit Organizations. This section requires the immediate recognition approach to be used when accounting for employee future benefits for defined benefit plans. The Institute previously had used the deferral and amortization approach. This change in accounting policy has been made in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, accounted for retrospectively and the comparative statements for the prior year have been restated. This change in accounting policy had the following effect on the financial statements: Decrease in General Operations Fund, August 1, 2013 Decrease in pension fund, August 1, 2013 $ $ Decrease in General Operations Fund, August 1, 2014 Decrease in pension fund, August 1, 2014 $ 1,325,211 $ 1,325,211 3.

A projection of the most recent actuarial valuation, completed as at December 31, 2013, based on the most updated assumptions as recommended by the actuary, indicated a pension surplus of $356,100 (2014 ‑ $437,400). The rates assumed in calculations for the plan are a discount rate of 5.25% (2014 ‑ 5.25%), an expected rate of return on plan assets of 5.75% (2014 ‑ 5.75%) and a rate of compensation increase of 3.75% (2014 ‑ 3.75%) per year. The defined benefit plan's cost expensed for the year totalled $805,920 (2014 ‑ $860,000) and the plan participants' contributions for the year totaled $373,108 (2013 ‑ $363,152).

Fund Balances The Institute's policies relating to the fund balances are as follows: The Institute has determined that it requires five categories of funds. The Special Projects Reserve Fund is maintained to provide for designated projects. Contributions initially placed in the Operating Funds will be transferred to the Special Projects Reserve Fund as required to meet financial costs of special projects approved by the Executive Committee or Board. The Funds Invested in Capital Assets are internally restricted amounts that represent the net investment in capital assets. The Contingency Reserve Fund is to be maintained at a level no less than $1,600,000 and no greater than $2,600,000 plus investment income earned. The reserve is maintained to fund six to nine months of the basic infrastructure costs of the Institute. The balance to be maintained in the fund will be revisited every three to five years to ensure adjustment of the minimum and maximum amounts as required. The Pension Reserve Fund is maintained to provide for pension plan funding deficits. The Operating Funds are comprised of the General Operations Fund, Career Connections Fund and Professionals' Society Fund. They are maintained to provide for ongoing operations, as required, and to fund special projects. 11.Commitments (a)Leases The Institute has leased premises in Toronto at an annual base rental for the next five years and thereafter as follows: 2016 $ 620,500 2017 616,000 2018 650,000 2019 637,000 202053,000 (b) Demand Operating Loan $ 2,576,500 The Institute has a revolving demand operating loan available in the amount of $500,000 bearing interest at prime plus 0.25%.

Financial Instrument Risk Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Institute is exposed to interest rate risk arising from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of fixed income denominated long term investments. The Institute manages its investments based on its cash flow needs and with a view to optimize its investment income. Other Price Risk Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in a market. The Institute manages market risk by diversifying its investments. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Institute has the Canadian equivalent of $2,143,249 (2014 ‑ $1,788,169) in foreign equities investments denominated in US dollars. The risks have not changed from the prior year. 13.

Overall membership in the Western Institutes increased 1.1% over prior period, a record year for membership. IIBC, IIS and IIM experienced the largest increase. IIBC, IIS and IIM had a record year for membership, continued requirement of membership on all seminars and licensing products helped achieve the growth. • Membership increasing from the prior year • Seminar programs expanded in most Western Institutes • Highly successful events with record attendance • Increased focus on licensing products Programming for the next year will continue to target the underrepresented groups of independent brokers, as well Membership (Figure A) As at May 31, 2015 As at May 31, 2014 # Variance % Variance Institute IIBC 46314539 92 2.0% IISA 25532545 8 0.3% IINA 21602189-29 -1.3% IIS 10671031 36 3.5% IIM 11101092 18 1.6% Total11,52111,396 125 1.1% CIP Program (Figure B) Institute Current Year Prior Year % Target 2014/2015 2013/2014 Target Variance ClassesStudentsClasses Students ClassesStudents ClassesStudents IIBC 651078 731138 701088 IISA 47599 44628 43595 9% 1% IINA 36532 33535 38532 -5% 0% IIS 35360 28378 34307 6% 17% IIM Total -7% .09% 24277 23266 22275 9%.07% 2072,846 2002,944 2072,797 0% 1.7% as those outside the larger metropolitan areas. The largest opportunity for growth in membership remains with the broker force across the Western Provinces. CIP Program (See figure B) Overall the Western Institutes exceeded target by 1.7%. The Saskatchewan Institute achieved the largest variance over target due to the following strategies undertaken: implementation of company bill payment process with SGI, a new orientation seminar given by IISK to all new employees highlighting the CIP courses as part of the delivery, and the offering of more virtual and combined classes to reach out to rural students. The Insurance Institutes of Manitoba and Southern Alberta exceeded their targets for both number of classes and students. Northern Alberta reached target for CIP students due to a number of strategies including company visits and in house registration booths. IIBC also held company visits and in house registration booths at ICBC. There is continued support from ICBC with an overall growth of 20% from the insurer. The plan is to market to licensing students and other underrepresented markets to increase CIP uptake. Our Institutes continue to expand delivery methods for the program, using web-based, “weekend warrior”, “fast track” compressed and localized in-house employer formats. Most of the Institutes set up registration tables at the major employers to provide assistance for potential students to register at the start of each semester. Institutes are also focusing on instructor recruitment and development and continue involvement in the new 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 55 Western Regional Report Continued Instructor Certification program. This is complemented with direct student development by way of examination tips seminars. Events and Seminars (Figure C) Institute Academic seminars CIP Society seminars Events Events and Seminars (See figure C) IIBC13 10 The number of events and seminars continued its historic strength in 2014/15 for the Western Institutes exceeding both prior year and targets for most institutes. IINA 1647 IISA 2633 IIS 2254 IIM 331 Total 802524 Seminar Attendance (See figure D) Overall the seminar program had excellent results surpassing last year’s attendees and in particular the academic seminars surpassed last year’s total by 6%. British Columbia saw an average of 35 seminar participants for their seminars using popular topics such as Earthquake, Course of Construction, and Reefer madness. Southern Alberta experienced similarly strong results with seminars, held in Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge, bringing the topics to participants who may not normally attend in Calgary. Manitoba experienced success with a strong variety of topics including one very popular seminar on condominium insurance. IISK experienced significant increased seminar attendance as a result of monthly SGI 101 Insurance New Employee Essentials seminars as well as a popular condominium insurance seminar. In BC, the GIE licensing program continues to be offered in Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria and Nanaimo as well as through a home study program. This year, they also introduced a week long fast track course that has resulted in 21 registrants. The Insurance Institute of Saskatchewan, also expanded their licensing program and offered a virtual class for their new restricted automobile course to complement their existing licensing courses. The Alberta Institutes were also busy this year addressing the new licensing 56 The Insurance Institute of Canada 9 Seminar Attendance (Figure D) Institute Academic CIP Society Total IIBC 429380 35 19 IINA 29666 362 18 IIS 44831 479 18 IIM 11659 175 29 Total1,811 571 23 2,382 • Northern Alberta this year chose to support an inner city lunch program. • Manitoba jointly hosted a Curling Fun spiel with the Blue Goose International (Manitoba Pond). • CIP Society Golf tournaments held in British Columbia Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan all were very successful fun events. • IIBC also hosted networking cocktail events in Victoria, Nanaimo and Kelowna. IIBC also held two wine tasting events and they were sold out in one week with 52 attendees. • In British Columbia they held a 6th annual Battle of the Insurance Bands. They raised over $5,000 for local charities. The event was sold out and attendance was up by 20%. IISA held their second networking event in Lethbridge “Dueling Pianos” which was a popular event. • Saskatchewan held their CIP Society Golf tournament even amidst a flood in Regina. Northern Alberta and Southern Alberta held successful Battle of the Insurance Bands raising money for charity. There are some exciting events planned in the next fiscal year to carry on the great tradition of engaging members in Event Attendance (See figure E) Participation at Institute events was strong again in the 2014/2015 fiscal with an increase of 16% over prior period. Some of key events from around the west included: • 809 IISA 52235 557 exams provided by the Insurance Council, amendments were required to our study kits and they were developed to address these changes. Northern Alberta and Southern Alberta offered licensing courses for level one and two brokers and agents. • Average/Seminar Western Regional Report Continued • Promoting the institute programs to CAIB graduates, with some institutes sending custom CAIB grads a congratulatory letter, a CIP syllabus and a credit transfer form. • Attendance at broker conventions in Manitoba and Saskatchewan by Institute managers and council. • In BC, continued Transit advertising and at the Vancouver Airport, along with advertisements in various periodicals. • The Alberta Institutes have some funds set aside to launch a marketing campaign that includes a consumer awareness campaign. A new venture for both Institutes and they are looking forward to seeing positive results from the advertising.

Including a new event in BC a beer and dinner networking theme scheduled for the fall. Convocation Attendance (See figure F) The total number of FCIP and GIE graduates for convocations in the Western Institutes was up over prior year but CIP graduates were down from prior year. Attendance was slightly behind last year due to less graduates overall. This past year IISA held their popular Mimosa Reception & Industry Trade Show that was well received again. Saskatchewan council president and manager hand delivered certificates to those individuals not in attendance at the convocation taking the time to recognize graduates that could not attend the convocation. In Manitoba, the convocation luncheon, had a powerpoint presentation which featured stories, quotes and inspirations from the graduation class. CIP Society As reported earlier, many of the industry events profile the CIP Society and the value it provides to our institute members. This includes the CIP Society golf tournaments that take place in most of the western Institutes, expansion of the Battle of the Band events, and the wine tasting events in Vancouver. Promotion of the CIP Society remains at the forefront for the Western Institutes. Some highlights from the past year include: • Full page graduate ad and licensing ad in the Broker Magazine, other industry publications, and/or local newspapers • Sponsoring industry events Career Connections As in prior years, the Western Institutes continue to expand the ambassador program with attendance at a number of career fairs and school presentations. These continue to be supplemented with programs such as: • Feed the Minds of Youth annual events • Recognition events for our ambassadors and volunteers Other Our Western Institutes have been impacted or see opportunities to expand delivery of our programming as a result of: • Ongoing licensing changes in the various western provinces has provided new opportunities for some institutes. In Alberta newly developed licensing classes and curriculum were provided to the membership. Strong results have been reported from students attending these classes, Manitoba also was given approval by the council for expanded use of the CIP/GIE materials in the various licensing levels. 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 57 Western Regional Report Continued • New Insurance college program utilizing CIP materials in Manitoba to start fall 2015 at Red River college. • Also a new college program starting in Calgary through Bow Valley commencing fall 2016. • The Alberta Institutes have been impacted by downsizing and consolidation of some insurers and Northern Alberta has been particularly impacted. The hope is that with the additional advertising and marketing efforts this will mitigate some of the membership retention issues. Conclusion It has, once again, been a very positive year for the Western Institutes. The Institute Councils and staff are to be commended for their diligence and focus ensuring the needs of Institute members are so very well served. 58 The Insurance Institute of Canada I also must thank Michael and Margaret for their assistance over the past two years, aiding me in my role and for the diligence and dedication they have in working with the local Institutes. From the past two Western Regional Meetings, I know how much value they provide and how much the local Institutes appreciate their efforts. Thank you. As my two years as Regional Vice Chair, Western Provinces comes to a close, it has been an honour and my absolute pleasure to participate on the Board and work closely with the IIC Executive Committee. This time has reaffirmed for me the value of the Insurance Institutes both nationally and at the local levels. The dedication to improving the knowledge and expertise of members of our industry is a worthy cause. Everyone here today can be proud of the many accomplishments, successful results, and continued focus that is in place going forward, to advance the professionalism of those in our industry that allows us to better serve our customers. Thank you for the opportunity and the privilege to work with you. Respectfully submitted, Glenda Ouellette, BA, MBA, FCIP Regional Vice Chair, Western Provinces Ontario Regional Report Pat Van Bakel, BA, CIP Regional Vice Chair, Ontario Introduction Programs (See figure B) Seminars (See figure C) It is my pleasure to present this report on behalf of the six chapters and the GTA operation that combine to serve as the Insurance Institute of Ontario. CIP Program: End of August 2015 These numbers are for the seminar activity since the last report in May, and reflect the first quarter April, May and June, of the local fiscal year, 2015/2016. As reported in May, after several years of very strong growth, this year the IIO experienced a more moderate participation in our courses, seminars and events. Despite the numbers that were lower than last year, the total participation was within planned budget expectations. Membership (See figure A) The total membership count dropped by 129 members this year, which is a clear reflection of the changing industry landscape. Based on the industry conditions, it is not unexpected that there would be less appetite to remain a member, and the main reason for this is a reflection of the change of philosophy in the industry with regard to financial support. Activity also drives membership and despite the challenges in this area, we were able to bring in new members at a similar pace to last year. (2015 = 2261 compared to 2014 = 2272). Southwestern and Hamilton/Niagara have seen a year over year increase, despite the loss of members to the Conestoga chapter, which occurred due to internal restructuring at the Economical. Ottawa continues to experience a bit of a downturn, however considerably less than last year, as the new manager revitalizes their activities. GTA is one of the most heavily impacted by the mergers and acquisition activity in Ontario, as well as the completion of certain marketing activity that included complimentary memberships. Due to the reduction in class participation, the local chapters submitted a more realistic plan this year and then worked hard to continue the many initiatives that they have implemented to build the student base. As a result the overall province exceeded both the number of classes and the number of student participants, by just short of 10%. In fact the number of students per class was planned at an average of 15, but achieved 16 students per class which reflects good expense management. Southwestern and Ottawa Chapters continue to fall short of their plan, which could be as a result of inaccurate planning during the transition of managers in both locations. The GTA did much better this year, with continued strength in virtual classes, and Conestoga with weekend warriors. The in-house programs are starting to show some improvement this year, and although we have lost some opportunities through mergers and acquisitions of the stakeholders, new opportunities have arisen thanks to strong relationship building. OTL The IIO continues to represent FSCO as the sole provider of the Other than Life licensing required by the industries direct writers. The number of exams continues to grow and we finished at 1619 exams this year. We meet annually with the regulator and once again this year, they are confident in the work we are doing on their behalf. As was mentioned in the May report, seminar participation was a challenge last year, so we are pleased to see the first quarter numbers strong for the Academic Offerings. Last year at this time, we had offered more seminars with a small per class participation, 13 people per seminar. This year we are running at 18 people per seminar which is the result of better planning and good expense management. The CIP Society level seminars are not doing as well for this quarter; however there are strong plans in place for Q2. The first round of the new Fundamentals Series has been piloted this year, and we have three more ready to be launched this fall. The revised and updated format for the Understanding Serious Injury has the blessing of the OIAA and is launching in September. We are also having preliminary conversations about another topic for the Understanding Series. The Member Bonus offerings have been received well, with one exception, which we think was a unique combination of topic, timing and local competition. As reported earlier we continue to move the needle with regard to long term planning for the seminar program. New seminar committees and volunteers at the local level, and, significant training for managers at our annual National Managers Meeting will serve to continue the progress made. Changes are still needed in the face of our strong competitors and the industry expense containment challenges. 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 59 Ontario Regional Report Continued Membership (Figure A) Institute GTA Prior Year end May 2014 Current end May 2015 % Variance year over year Annual target 2014/2015 % Variance Annual Target 11,3521,1043 -2.7% 11353 -2.7% Southwestern1,600 1,630 +1.9% 1615 -0.9% Ottawa 1,4431,398-3.1% 1430 -2.3% Conestoga2,394 2,575 +7.6% 2440 +5% Hamilton/Niagara1,763 1,797 +1.9% 1700 +5% Kawartha/Durham1,196 1,197 0.1% 1215 -1.5% Cambrian Shield Total 420 399 -5.0% 415 20,168 20,039-.0625% -4% 20168 -.64% Programs (Figure B) Institute Annual Fall 2014 Winter 2015 Spring 2015Three PlanDecemberApril JulySemester Exams Exams ExamsTotal # class / # student # class / # student # class / # student # class / # student # class / # student GTA 1272,448 561,147 41 851 1342,647 37 649 Southwestern 14 1376 535 53 1 11 12117 Ottawa 18194 10 98 7 69 3 22 20189 Conestoga 56620 22313 21 316 13126 56755 Hamilton/Niagara 23 2278 938 102 5 54 21249 Kawartha/Durham 8 1164 474 50 2 22 10119 Cambrian Shield 1 72 162 11 0 0427 TOTAL 2473,749 1081,767 88 1,452 2574,103 68 884 Seminars (Figure C) Chapter # of Academic seminars GTA # of Academic participants # of CIP Society seminars # of CIP Society participants 15265 3 15 Southwestern6121 0 Ottawa 0 797 1 15 Conestoga 872 1 10 Hamilton/Niagara2 24 1 23 Kawartha/Durham1 23 0 0 Cambrian Shield 21 TOTAL 3 n/a n/a 42623 6 63 60 The Insurance Institute of Canada Ontario Regional Report Continued Since our last report, the local chapters have offered several fun networking events.

Career Connections The IIO celebrated a Toast Your Success appreciation event in two locations this year. Ambassadors were invited to the GTA and Conestoga to be acknowledged for the work they do to bring new members to our industry. Summer is quiet, but fall has begun with retraining and a back to school events for Ambassadors and career connections council specialists. Local Industry Issues affecting Institutes Mergers and Acquisitions have joined the list of industry activity that is impacting education in Ontario. The introduction of the Member Bonus Series, and the inaugural offering of the Symposium West, is a couple of ways to provide new opportunities to our members that fit their needs and their lifestyle. revenues are sitting right on plan with 33% earned so far, this first four months, and with expenses being well managed. Respectfully Submitted, Pat Van Bakel, CIP Regional Vice Chair, Ontario Conclusion Overall the end of the IIC fiscal year showed stable results for Ontario which is the local first 4 months. A slight drop in membership financials is as expected, and a quieter spring class semester is reflected in the finances. Overall 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 61 Québec Regional Report Chantal Gagnon, FCIP, MBA President Introduction Although 2015 was more difficult than previous years, and in spite of the competition in the Quebec marketplace, we were able to surpass our financial objectives, thanks in part to diversified sources of income. Membership (See figure A) Our membership fell by 4.8% despite visits to 32 employers in Quebec and several CEGEPs11 to promote the Insurance Institute. Our reading of the situation is that our results have been affected by mergers and acquisitions of insurance companies and large brokerages, by demographic changes, and by employers’ budgetary constraints. However, with the arrival of the advanced CIP program and the CRM, we should be able to offset at least part of the decline in enrolment. CIP Program (See figure B) The reduction is the result of a lower number of students for the fall 2014 session, since spring and winter registrations were unchanged compared to the previous year. The Council and staff are keeping a close watch on these results and on the factors that may affect them. Worth noting is our students’ interest in the courses offered by the Institut d’Assurance de dommages du Québec on the internet. Over 36% of our students take courses via the web. We expect to surpass the 50% mark within 18 months, as we are increasing our online course offering. 1 CEGEPs are junior colleges in Quebec, the equivalent of Grade 12 and the first year (or two) of university or college in other provinces. 62 The Insurance Institute of Canada Membership (Figure A) Institute Total Membership May 2014 May 2015 IADQ 4,588 Variance # 4,367 % -221-4.8% CIP Program (Figure B) Institute TOTAL (2014/2015) 2013/2014 % Variance IADQ Total Classes Students Classes Students Classes 49563 49625 Students 0%-2.3% Public Seminar Attendance (Figure C) Institute IADQ 2014/2015 Participant 2013/2014 Seminar # # Seminar # Participant % Variance # # Seminar % Variance # 449074410320%-7.4% As of this writing, the figures for fall 2015 are not yet available.

In-house seminars are delivered at a broker’s or insurer’s offices, while the public sessions are in such locations as hotels in Montreal and Quebec City. We have more than 80 topics available for ‘’in-house’’ sessions and subject to PDU credits. Rendez-vous Québec, in May 2015, attracted more than 748 participants, while the June 2015 golf tournament drew more than 214 players. Public seminars (See figure C) Between April 1 and July 31, 2015, Public seminars increased by more than 15%. In-house employer seminars (See figure D) We are proud to state that the above results have enabled us to achieve our financial targets despite the slight decrease in the number of students in the CIP program and in public seminars. Convocations (See figure F) Career Connections We are pleased to continue to work with the Insurance Institute of Canada Québec Regional Report Continued on activities in Quebec universities.

It is an ambitious plan, and we will need to move forward in phases in terms of the types of social media and of tracking and monitoring. this report, every decision, every action is being carried out for one purpose: to create added value for our members and contribute to the growth and development of the Insurance Institute. Respectfully submitted, Chantal Gagnon, FCIP, MBA President Conclusion I would like to thank all Council members, our General Manager François Houle, as well as the permanent staff, instructors and, of course, our much appreciated volunteers for their commitment and hard work. As you can see throughout 2014 – 2015 Annual Report 63 Atlantic Regional Report Darrel Coates, CIP, CRM Regional Vice-Chair, Atlantic Provinces It has been a pleasure to work with the Atlantic Regional Institutes again for the year. 2.0%. IIPE also experienced an increase. The growth rate slowed this year mainly due to some industry restructuring that has impacted the Atlantic provinces in particular Nova Scotia. Given the tremendous dedication and commitment of the board members, staff, instructors and volunteers in the Atlantic Region, reporting on the many achievements and significant contributions they have made to the Insurance Industry has been an easy one. They have worked diligently to bring education, fellowship, and networking opportunities to all their members consistently throughout the year. PROGRAMS CIP Program (See figure B) All institutes exceeded target and prior year’s results. Overall the Atlantic institutes exceeded target by 13.6% and last year’s student participants by 6.7%. We continue to see increases in virtual class delivery in all Atlantic Institutes. Student’s preference for virtual classes and the offering of more classes in this format has resulted in an increase in class enrollment of 18%. The virtual format has provided great benefits Membership (See figure A) Overall the Atlantic Region increased membership by 1.1% and with IINL and IINB seeing the highest growth of 3.6 and As of May 31, 2015 As of May 31, 2014 # Variance % Variance IINB 1105 1083 222.0% IINS 1444 1451 (7)0.5% 136 133 30.3% IINL 485 Total 3,170 468 3,135 173.6% 351.1% CIP Program (Figure B) Institute As of July 31, 2015 Target # Classes # Students # Classes # Students % Variance Classes Students IINB 37 467 31 410 20%14% IINS 28 369 22350 28% 5% 2 10 0%40% 8 66 25%34% IIPEI 2 IINB and IINS saw an increase in their CIP students due to some of the recruitment activities of the local managers including: surveying students and visiting employers to determine their needs and then fulfilling their needs through appropriate courses.
