Bob Farries, Diane Brickner, Gregg Hanson, John Phelan 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 9 Chair’s Address to the 60th Annual General Meeting October 2014 Silvy Wright, BA (Hons), CA While change is a constant in our industry, one of the things that hasn’t changed is the Institute’s commitment to providing programs that reflect the highest standards of professionalism. Last year, I had the privilege of taking on the role of Chair of the Insurance Institute. Having worked in the industry for many years, I’ve had the opportunity to witness the tremendous impact the Insurance Institute has on our industry. Over the course of the past year, as I’ve worked with the Insurance Institute team and all of you on the very lofty goals we set for ourselves, my belief in the Institute’s mission has strengthened. More than ever, our focus on the issues and the opportunities that really matter to our industry is critical to our success. I’m very happy to be here today, and share with you that we accomplished what we set out to do this year – thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers across the country, we’ve really had an extraordinary year. I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect back on some of these accomplishments. While change is a constant in our industry, one of the things that hasn’t changed is the Institute’s commitment to providing programs that reflect the highest standards of professionalism. This year, the first class of Fellows completed the new FCIP Program – a wonderful accomplishment that they can be very proud of. The creation of 10 The Insurance Institute of Canada this innovative leadership program is an accomplishment the Institute should be proud of as well. It took courage to change it, but it is meeting an evolving need. Our new Instructor Certification program also launched this year. This initiative was launched as a result of input from our industry about a need for more uniformity when it comes to CIP instruction. The program has received very positive feedback, and it’s already improved the learning experience for our students. Another new program we introduced in 2014 is the P&C Essentials program, which targets senior professionals new to the insurance business and executives who serve on insurance industry boards. Both modules have also received great feedback in the short timeframe since their launch. Finally, this year, the CIP Society celebrated its 15th anniversary – a great milestone to be celebrated! To mark the occasion, the Institute held a series of webinars on topics like consolidation, increased regulation and social media in the insurance industry – another great initiative that supports the Institute’s commitment to ongoing education - something I know everyone in this room understands the importance of. Chair’s Address to the 60th Annual General Meeting - October 2014 Continued Improving the member experience is also key to our success. That includes the way we interact with them and how they receive professional development. We are all aware of the computer-based examinations initiative and its goal of launching its first exam next year. This initiative will transform the way students write and schedule exams by providing greater flexibility in choosing when and where exams are written, improving turn-around time on grades, and of course eliminating pen and paper. This will make a huge difference in the membership experience, and we’re very excited about it. Web-based classes were up 8% this past year, and our new gamified learning activities were accessed more than 4,500 times during the first two semesters. And finally, we’re using technology in new ways to facilitate the way we communicate with our members. The institutes now use Twitter to promote our events and encourage dialogue. Our national LinkedIn site is helping us build a sense of community. And the blogging feature we added to our new website, which was launched just last year, is a great way for us to get important messages out there to our members. As a result of all our efforts and focus of enhancing professional development and member experience, we’ve managed to establish record highs for our all-Canada membership, which reached 39,288 this, so very close to a milestone target of 40,000. Attracting the next generation to the industry has been another important priority for the Institute. As you know, we need to continue to show young people what a great place the insurance business can be to build a career. That’s why, as an industry, it’s so critical for us to reach young adults before starting to make decisions about their future. The Institute is taking a leadership role in this and we’ve made great progress in 2014. In just one year, the Institute’s Career Connections team has reached more than 175,000 students face-to-face – at the secondary schools, universities and colleges. They’ve also connected with more than 1.4 million high school students, teachers and career counselors through editorials and print promotion. And they’ve reached more than 2.5 million young adults through the Institute’s YouTube channel and website – that’s the power of social media today! Before we turn our attention to the future, I’d like to take a moment to truly thank our volunteers and staff across the country who give so enthusiastically to the mandate of our organization. This group of Institute champions is vitally important to our success – and much of what’s been accomplished over the last year is the result of their contribution. We must build on what we’ve accomplished and continue to expand the professionalism of our industry. And we must continue to foster the image of the industry as a dynamic field where talented young people can build a fulfilling career. All will strengthen our industry. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to lead the Institute as its Chair during these past twelve months, and to serve on the Executive since 2011 – and I’m looking forward to continuing on as a member of the Board for another year. I’d like to close today by extending early congratulations to my successor, Neil Morrison, BA (Hons), Executive Vice President Operations at HUB International, and wish him every success. Sincerely, Silvy Wright, BA (Hons), CA Chair I would also like to extend my thanks to you, our Board of Governors and members of the Executive Committee for your commitment of time and expertise to furthering the mission of the Institute. Finally, I’d like to thank Peter Hohman for all the work he does on behalf of the Institute, and on behalf of our industry. Your dedication is unparalleled. And now, as we look to the future, I believe we must continue to raise the bar and stay ahead of the curve through innovation to continue to create real value for our industry and our members. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 11 Academic Council Report Michael Wills, FCIP Chair, Academic Council A total of 3,311 students took virtual classes in the 2013-2014 academic year, an increase of 10% over last year. 180 virtual classes were offered during the same period, an increase of 8% over the prior year. The Academic Council reviewed and approved ongoing projects and new initiatives in a year with a full agenda. They also endorsed the ongoing programs with various upgrades and developments that keep our products and services fresh and vital. At the forefront are progress on computer-based examinations, a milestone for the Fellowship program and several exciting new offerings. Chartered Insurance Professional Program A Property Curriculum Advisory Committee is continuing to work on revising C12 Insurance on Property (Common Law) with the content development phase now underway. A new text edition for C12 Insurance on Property (Quebec) was released for the September 2014 semester. The C13 Insurance Against Liability— Part 1 course and curriculum are to be evaluated by a Curriculum Advisory Committee and candidates are currently being sourced for the Committee. The C14 Automobile Insurance—Part 1(Atlantic) current text edition is 2014. It addresses Nova Scotia reforms from 2011 and 2013 (including its adoption of the DCPD plan similar to Ontario and New Brunswick), Quebec reforms from 2014 and it streamlines discussion of Accident Benefits and limits applicable in 12 The Insurance Institute of Canada each of the Atlantic provinces. No further updates are planned in 2014, however developments in PEI are being monitored and it may be necessary to update the text in 2015 if PEI adopts DCPD. The current text editions for C14 Automobile Insurance—Part 1(Quebec) are 2011 (English) and 2012 (French). A major text addendum including revised studies was issued in both English and French in March 2014. The update was to comply with revised “plain language” QPF 1, which came into effect in March 2014. A revised course bundle (text and Student Resource Guide) is planned for English and French, for distribution by January 2015. Subject matter experts are revising existing studies and developing new material for C39 Fraud Awareness and Prevention. The new text edition incorporates improvements in structure, content currency, and use of learning tools, as identified through task force and stakeholder analysis. The target release date is July 2015. The C47 Reinsurance text has been completely rewritten and reflects changes in both the practice and regulation of reinsurance. It includes current Canadian market terminology and detailed examples to illustrate concepts. Translation and printing have been completed and the course was available for the September 2014 semester. Academic Council Report Continued The current marine courses, C53 Principles of Marine Insurance, C54 Marine Underwriting and C55 Marine Claims are in a decommissioning period with fall 2014 as the final registration semester. Communications will be issued at various intervals, using different media channels, to keep students informed of the changes. The future marine courses are C57 Cargo and Goods in Transit Insurances, C58 Marine Hull and Associated Liabilities—Part 1 and C59 Marine Hull and Associated Liabilities—Part 2. Three sets of Canadian commentaries are under development to complement the two new Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) texts, with the second text to be split and used for two courses. The planned publication date is January 2015. The Loss Prevention Series, consisting of three courses, C36 Building Construction, Fire Hazards, and Basic Hazards; C37 Special Hazards and Processes; and C38 Liability Loss Prevention, currently utilize SCM Risk Management Services texts. A competency-based curriculum is being planned for the courses, outlining loss prevention functions within the insurance process and how loss prevention professionals are impacted, rather than the current technical focus of the texts and courses. An audit and survey of past instructors of C48 Automobile Insurance—Part 2 has been completed and key inputs will be incorporated into the text, along with findings of the Curriculum Advisory Committee, for September 2015. Since August 2013, the Programs team has worked collaboratively with two Curriculum Advisory Committees (CAC’s) to re-engineer two IIC programs, C12 Insurance on Property and the General Insurance Essentials Program (GIE). Each committee consists of a series of subjectmatter experts that reflect a national perspective, holistic industry role perspective, representation from various property and casualty stakeholders, and instructors that reflect many years of teaching excellence and experience. Over the year, both committees have performed intensive learner and content needs analysis while making valuable contributions to a new curriculum design and learning structure. The Instructor Certification Program (ICP) was launched successfully in fall 2013. The first cohort is now completing their fourth and last course and they will receive their ICP certification at subsequent convocations. Work is currently underway to translate the program. The Instructor Certification Program courses are: Teaching and Learning – Theory and Principle; Instructional Design for Significant Learning; Evaluation - Strategies for Success and The Art of Facilitation. Web-based Programs A total of 3,311 students took virtual classes in the 2013-2014 academic year, an increase of 10% over last year. 180 virtual classes were offered during the same period, an increase of 8% over the prior year. Examinations Registration numbers for the CIP program have decreased over last year. Registrations for the December 2013 session were down 4.4% from the previous December, April 2014 registrations were down 5.9% and July 2014 registrations were up 3.7% over the previous year. Overall, for the three exam sessions combined, registrations were down 3.2% (612 students) over the prior year. A student who was viewing his cell phone during the April 2014 exam session had the examination disqualified and was suspended for nine consecutive examination sessions (three years). Several students whose exams were disqualified and who were suspended have been granted reinstatement of their examination privileges, including two students communicating during a July 2013 examination, a student who was looking at another student’s answer book during a C39 Fraud Awareness and Prevention exam during the December 2010 session and one student accessing illicit information during a 2009 examination. 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 IT integration (Yardstick; Aptify; Website). We are continuing to develop an examination questions database, in conjunction with our translation team in Montreal, on a course-by-course basis. This approach enables proofs of concept to be run to test the functionality of the software systems and key elements of the project. A number of proofs of concept have been held and the responses to using computers to write examinations have been positive. Proofs of concept will continue to be organized for the December 2014 and April 2015 exam sessions. A CBE pilot is slated for July 2015 with the first actual computer-based examination planned for December 2015 for one course. Exam centres will include Institute locations, corporate training centre locations, employer locations, colleges and universities and other sites. Preparations are underway to organize the physical and electronic requirements of the sites and establish arrangements with third party providers. The IT integration of Yardstick’s software with 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 13 Academic Council Report Continued Aptify and our Web site is a sizeable undertaking and is well underway, and the electronic marking process is advancing with functionality being tested and fundamental enhancements being made. A comprehensive communications plan to introduce computer-based examinations to the industry is in place and has been initiated, with meetings and presentations to key stakeholders. The spring 2014 edition of the newsletter ‘Institute IQ Quarterly’, informed the industry, our members and students of the introduction of computer-based examinations and a newly developed Web site page introduces students to the change and outlines the benefits of the new examination format. General Insurance Essentials December 2013 had no change in the registration numbers from the previous year, April 2014 had a decrease of 13% and July 2014 registrations increased 3.8%. For the three exam sessions, total registrations were down 5% from the previous year. The GIE Curriculum Advisory Committee (CAC) is leading a program evaluation initiative that will result in material changes and enhancements to the GIE program. Members are reviewing and providing input on the current GIE textbooks, focusing on content quality and relevance, program structure, and an enhanced learning experience that will incorporate improved structural design tools and delivery and evaluation methods. Completion is scheduled for 2015. The GIE program serves multiple national audiences. The CAC has identified three key audience streams for its content: executives, license seekers, and insurance support roles (such as IT, administrative, or marketing professionals). 14 The Insurance Institute of Canada Licensing The GIE texts and specific CIP courses are used for provincial agent/ broker and independent adjuster licensing in most provinces and territories. In addition, completion of GIE or C11 Principles and Practice of Insurance satisfies level one licensing requirements in some jurisdictions. We continue to engage with provincial regulators in order to monitor licensing and continuing education requirements and provide input to regulators on the appropriate use of Institute course material. IIC submitted a position paper based on a series of questions posed by the New Brunswick regulator on OTL license reform. Areas of discussion included licensing levels, probationary period duration, education requirements, mandatory advancement between levels and continuing education. In the spring 2014, a proposal was submitted to the Insurance Councils of Saskatchewan to change the name of our one-day Automobile Licensing—Restricted Agent Course to Restricted Agent Licensing—Extension Automobile Insurance Course. The proposal was accepted in May. It has been approved for issuers that have successfully completed SGI’s issuing course, or passed the issuing challenge exam. Offering this one-day, top-up version of the course will appeal to a wider market. IIC and the Insurance Institute of Manitoba are in discussion with the Insurance Council of Manitoba regarding the potential for Institute study material to be used to prepare for agent/broker license examination. As well, there is pending reform to the adjuster license levels that may impact applicable IIC course material. A proposal will be provided. Life License Qualification Program – LLQP Registrations for the academic year September 2013 to August 2014 were up 14% (6) over the previous year. IIC met with the governance committee of the LLQP National Harmonization Initiative to discuss the criteria that must be met to be approved as an educator under the new system. IIC is committed to continuing to offer the existing course until the current program is fully decommissioned. Currently, IIC is the only educator offering the course in French. We continue to monitor developments with this national initiative and consider our continuing participation in this program. Professional Development Programs Several new programs are in the process of being developed. The Risk Management Certificate Program project plan was approved by the Executive Committee and implementation plans are proceeding pending approval of the Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) that completers of the IIC program will have access to the CRM designation. The program will comprise three courses with textbooks supplied by the Institutes (American Institute for CPCU) and the courses will be delivered by facilitated web-based distance learning. Students completing our Risk Management Certificate Program will be granted advanced standing in the CIP Program. The first course, Risk Management Principles and Practices, will be available in 2015. The Advanced CIP Certificate Program project plan was also approved by the Executive Committee. It is a four-course program that will Academic Council Report Continued provide higher-level professional development for CIP graduates and in addition, provide knowledge and skills to prepare candidates for the FCIP program. Graduates of the program will be recognized by the post-nominal letters, CIP (Adv). The program will re-purpose existing CIP course material and include two new courses that are in development: Critical Thinking for Insurance Professionals, which teaches students to identify underlying assumptions and to look at issues from a variety of perspectives in order to strengthen skills that are necessary for business, such as analysis, problem solving, and communication; and Business Foundations for Insurance Professionals, which will cover topics such as understanding the Canadian business system and the global business context, the business of managing, functional areas of a business, marketing and understanding the basics for financial management, which will be developed to help students attain some of the background needed for the FCIP financial management course. The plan is on track for program launch September 2015. A project is underway to develop a Commercial Lines Program to support growth of knowledge and improve skill sets of property and casualty commercial lines industry professionals. Currently an analysis of educational needs of employers and individuals is being conducted. A subject matter expert taskforce to assist in building the curriculum is being selected and assembled. The suite of Management Development courses includes: • Essential Management Skills • Think on Your Feet® • Attracting and Retaining a Multi-Generational Workforce • Building Better Work Relationships In 2013–2014, through a combination of in-house and public offerings, a total of 22 courses were provided with a total of 298 participants. The four program courses have been delivered to over 1,500 participants since 2010. There are three courses in the Insurance Skills Series: • Understanding Serious Injury (USI) was designed and developed by the Insurance Institute of Ontario and received excellent feedback from corporate clients and students. The course is fully operationalized for delivery for any Institute that identifies the need for the training in their province/region. • Understanding Bodily Injury (UBI) enhances claims adjusters’ knowledge of the claims handling process, boosts their claims management skills and heightens their credibility. • Understanding Case Law will equip participants to effectively prepare a comprehensive file in anticipation of negotiation, settlement or litigation and is designed for claims professionals who want to gain the knowledge and skills to expertly find, interpret, and apply case law. Fellowship Program - Original Track There are 2,870 students registered in the original track Fellowship program. The number of graduates to-date is 154, up 7% from the prior year. The number of Fellowship students enrolled in at least one FCIP course from mid-October 2013 to mid-October 2014 is 407, down 19% from the prior year.

Fellowship Program – Current Admission and Registration Since program admission first opened on June 1, 2010, a total of 414 candidates have been granted admission to the new program. Some have chosen to defer the start of their first course. To-date, 254 candidates have completed F510 Strategy in the P&C Insurance Sector; 186 have completed F520 Leading in the Insurance World; 98 have completed F530 Financial Management for Insurance Leaders; 67 have completed F540 Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the Insurance Sector; 46 have completed F550 Emerging Issues: Implications for the P&C Insurance Leader; and 14 have completed F560 Integrative Learning for the P&C Insurance Sector. Eleven French students have completed F510 Strategy in the P&C Insurance Sector and 12 have completed F520 Leading in the Insurance World. For the Fall 2014 semester, we have 42 candidates registered for F510 Strategy; 21 registered for F520 Leadership; 26 registered for F530 Financial Management and 9 registered in French; 21 registered for F540 ERM; 18 registered for F550 Emerging Issues; and 28 are registered in the final capstone course F560 Integrative Learning for the P&C Insurance Sector. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 15 Academic Council Report Continued Graduates The 14 candidates who completed F560 this year are the first cohort to complete the entire program, and we look forward to congratulating them at convocation ceremonies across the country in the coming months. The graduates include members of the following local institutes and chapters: British Columbia; Northern Alberta; Southern Alberta; Saskatchewan; Ontario: Southwestern Ontario, Conestoga, GTA (including one international candidate); New Brunswick; and Nova Scotia. Feedback and Enhancements After each term, candidates are invited to complete an online survey about their experience in the course. As of April 2014, 50% of candidates had completed the surveys, and 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 several grading rubrics for program-wide consistency in approach and for F560, revising course documents in response to suggestions from evaluators and our first group of candidates. Program Entry The new Advanced CIP qualification (currently under development) will also allow us to address FCIP feedback about program entry and the challenges of advanced business studies. In addition to its independent merits as a professional development opportunity, the new program will replace the current alternate entry route for the FCIP program, 16 The Insurance Institute of Canada providing a more focused preparation for FCIP study than is possible through the existing alternate route. Although the Advanced CIP Program involves fewer courses than the current alternate entry route, the courses are specifically designed to foster the business awareness and critical thinking skills that are needed both for FCIP studies and for responsible business roles. In addition, the revised alternate entry requirements will include five years of relevant work experience, ensuring that graduates of the Advanced CIP Program will bring to the FCIP a strong combination of tailored study and significant property and casualty experience. Although not required for regular-route FCIP applicants, the Advanced CIP program may also serve as a helpful bridge to FCIP work for those who have not yet experienced business studies. Communication Activities Communication activities regarding the first graduating cohort include: • A new video series has been developed featuring candidates discussing their experiences in the program and the benefits they’ve derived from individual courses. • A print and PDF brochure has been developed celebrating the first graduating cohort. The print version was included in a recent issue of Canadian Underwriter and has been mailed directly to contacts in the property and casualty HR community. • A media release drawing attention to the first graduating cohort and the new videos was sent to the trade media. Ongoing communication activities include: • A pre-application self-assessment quiz designed to enhance retention by helping potential candidates understand how best to prepare for the program is available online. • 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 CIP 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 self-assessment tool. • Media releases issued to highlight new courses and other developments 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 new special projects, our 15th Anniversary programming celebrated October 2013 to June 2014, and the four main areas of programs and services – Membership, Professional Development, Information Resources and Promotion. SPECIAL PROJECTS Mentoring As a legacy of our 15th anniversary, the CIP Society National Council proposed developing a mentoring toolkit that would offer information, education, promotion of mentoring, plus resources and tools and templates for mentors, mentees and organizations. The demographic research recommends programs such as mentoring to facilitate working relationships, knowledge transfer and phasing retirement type programs impacting mature workers and newer recruits. The intended outcomes of the toolkit are to provide information and education to our members on best practices in forming effective mentorship relationships, including ethical and professional responsibilities of both the mentor and mentee. And for the benefit of our stakeholders, to provide tools that would enable organizations to implement mentoring programs internally, should they so choose. A task force was formed to validate the proposed program, provide input to concept, resources to be developed, and provide direction and input into program direction and content development. Content for mentees, mentors and organizations is in development. Leadership Circle members were videotaped discussing mentoring at the Roundtable discussions on April 9th (see below) to provide additional content assets for the program. A key recommendation from the task force was for the mentoring toolkit to be available as an on-line resource, which the CIP Society Council endorsed. At the Executive Committee’s spring meeting, funding was approved to develop the toolkit as a micro-site off the Insurance Institute website, and since then, the project has continued with content development, creative concepts for web design, and a web developer lined up. It is anticipated that the micro-site will be launched late November. A launch strategy and on-going communications strategy are in development as well. Research Since 2007, the Institute has engaged in research on the demographics of the industry’s workforce. This was the first topic of relevance that we proposed and have published 3 reports to date, adding value not only to the Institute and in particular Career Connections, but also adding real value to our stakeholders and the industry. While we are not proposing we abandon or preclude future research on demographics, we do believe that the CIP Society is well positioned to tackle other hot topics and emerging trends. As reported in the Information Resources section below, the Society has been publishing a series of monthly trends papers, under the banner “ADVANTAGE Monthly: emerging trends and issues,” since 2007. These trends papers are more substantive than trade magazine articles and provide an informative 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 23 Professionals’ Council Report Continued starting point for our member’s further research, however they have not been designed to involve exhaustive research nor do they draw conclusions or make recommendations. National Leadership programs success to date, we held our first leadership circle gathering: Publishing an annual white paper, as we have proposed, enables the Society to address emerging issues at a higher, more substantive level, with the potential to not only inform and educate our members and stakeholders, but to potentially impact and influence the industry’s response to the issue (as we have on the demographics of the workforce). Based on the Leadership Circle Roundtable discussions and internal consultations, the topic proposed and approved by Executive Committee is: To celebrate the five years of the National Leadership Awards program, we hosted an inaugural meeting of the Leadership Circle inductees on Wednesday, April 9. The purpose of this event was twofold: to enable the opportunity for networking and sense of community, and to engage the leaders in a roundtable discussion on a number of themes important to our membership. Nineteen of the 28 leaders attended the day. What are the implications on the p&c insurance industry of cyber risks (data security/ breaches) and what will be the impact on commercial insurance in Canada and coverage for cyber liability going forward? With the proposal approved, we have proceeded with contracting the researcher/writer and research has begun. It is anticipated that this first paper will be published and released mid to late April 2015. We anticipate that this first report, and the promotion and potential subsequent seminar series, will confirm the Society’s position as a source of industry research and inform topic selection for future white papers. CELEBRATING THE SOCIETY’S 15TH ANNIVERSARY AND OTHER MILESTONES It’s been a milestone year for the CIP Society and our programs: October 2013 marked the 15th anniversary of the Society, 10th anniversary of the Rhind Scholarship program, and 5th anniversary of the National Leadership Awards. In particular, to celebrate the 24 The Insurance Institute of Canada Leadership Circle Roundtable We hosted two facilitated discussions in the afternoon: one on Trust / Professional Ethics / Leadership / Mentoring, and the other on Hot Topics / Emerging Trends. The results of these discussions will be used to inform the development of future Society programs and services – particularly the mentoring and research projects above. The discussions were videotaped, and the edited clips will also help provide assets that can be used on the Insurance Institute website and shared via social media to support the National Leadership Awards program and the proposed mentoring website. MEMBERSHIP our members as a value-added service. The program is promoted 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. Annual Membership Survey We continue to benchmark our members’ satisfaction with the programs and services in an annual survey. Consistently, year over year: • Approximately 2,500 to 3,000 members – an excellent representative sample of the total membership – give us feedback on what are important membership benefits. • 90% or more (in this most recent survey, it was 94%) of survey respondents rated their overall level of satisfaction with the CIP Society as ‘Good’, ‘Very Good’ or ‘Excellent’. • Most of the questions stay the same for consistency, but we also make changes or introduce new questions, as appropriate to assess members’ perceptions about the Society and current or potential member programs and services. This year, for the first time, we introduced a number of questions on professional ethics. Member Perks Program The highlights of the November 2013 membership survey include: Since 2007, the Society has offered members access to the MemberPerks program, a savings program offering discounts and deals on cars, beds, shoes, restaurants, travel, and lots of services offered nationally and locally – over 1,200 vendors with exclusive discounts redeemable at over 6,000 locations and online. In 2011, we signed onto a four year agreement, at a fee, with Venngo the provider of this service, to ensure the program continues to be offered to • Professional Development (PD) Topics, Delivery Methods and Motivation – Over the last few of years, we have asked members in different ways about their level of interest in various PD topics. Consistent with previous years, results show that respondents are interested in a wide variety of topics, with the top four this year reported as: claims case studies; new insurance products; emerging technologies and risks; and social media risk management. Professionals’ Council Report Continued The survey also asked respondents to indicate their preferred method for receiving their PD offerings, and the majority reported that they are ‘Interested’ to ‘Extremely Interested’ in online webinars and on-demand courses. When asked about factors motivating their participation in PD, members indicated that they are most motivated by technical skill development (at 44%) and career advancement (at 31%). • Suite of Services -- In general, there is consistency with previous years about the level of importance and satisfaction our members report for our suite of products and services. In fact, there was a slight increase in the level of importance and satisfaction over last year’s results. • Social Media – In 2011, we introduced questions into the survey asking members about their use of social media. The survey results showed that our members are, in general, late-adopters and were just starting to participate on various sites. Over the last three years, though, the number of members indicating visiting sites including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter is indicating slow, steady increase. • Promotion of the Designation – Two questions were introduced in 2012 and included again in 2013 to measure how aware our members are of the CIP Society’s advertising and promotion of the CIP designation, and how successful they think that advertising and promotion is. While the results show that some members have some awareness, it is also apparent that about a quarter of our members remain completely unaware of advertising campaigns promoting the designation. • Professional Ethics – At the September 2013 meeting, Council decided that this year, we should take the opportunity to ask our members about professional ethics. Council helped come up with a series of 10 questions, including asking members to rate how ethical the industry is today and if it is more or less ethical than when they first started; asking about the frequency with which members face ethical dilemmas at work; and about the types of resources they have available to help solve them. While the majority of our members rated the industry as a ‘4’ or ‘5’ on a 5-point Likert scale, where 5 is very ethical, 29% of respondents rated the industry a ‘3’. Council noted that this is a concern, as more than a quarter of our members are “sitting on the fence” about the ethics of their own professional community. Council talked about there being a general lack of acknowledgement from the industry about how the industry is perceived, and stemming from this, a reluctance to act. Council considered how to address this issue within the Society’s mandate and determined that we can continue to work on increasing levels of understanding and awareness about ethics and ethical dilemmas in the p&c industry. The survey also asked about resources that members use to deal with dilemmas in the workforce and our members reported that their organizations’ codes of ethics are accessed more than other codes, including the Institute’s. The Council noted that this is likely the result of some companies keeping the codes top of mind, requiring annual commitments of employees. At its September 2014 meeting, the Council decided that for the upcoming survey of members, we would remove the questions on ethics, having established a good benchmark on that topic, but would include questions on mentoring, in order to benchmark members’ engagement in mentoring relationships prior to launching the new mentoring micro-site. The survey will go out to members in November/ December and the Council will review the findings at its Spring meeting. As with each survey, data relevant to the local Chapters/Institutes is passed along to local managers for their information and action. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT National Leadership Awards Program The CIP Society is pleased to announce the three National Leadership Award honourees for 2014. Since the program’s inception in 2009, the Leadership Awards have given prominence to the outstanding achievements of 31 industry leaders who demonstrate a passion for lifelong learning and dedication to their employer, profession and community. The Leadership Awards provide a valuable opportunity to celebrate individuals with a natural ability to positively influence the people around them and to cultivate those qualities in others. Leaders are selected in both Emerging and Established Leader categories. The National Leadership Awards Selection Committee is pleased to announce this year’s 3 recipients: Established Leaders: Johanne Lépine, FCIP Aon Reed Stenhouse Inc. Executive Vice President and Leader, Eastern Canada Montreal, QC 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 25 Professionals’ Council Report Continued Lynn Oldfield, FCIP AIG Canada President & Chief Executive Officer Toronto, ON Emerging Leaders: Adrian Osti, FCIP Northbridge Financial Corporation Manager, Learning and Development Toronto, ON Professional Ethics Since 2007, the CIP Society has published more than 30 columns on ethical discussions in a national trade magazine, currently Canadian Underwriter. In January, 2014, the 8th annual workshop of the subcommittee and advisory network met to review and evaluate past columns and to brainstorm for our next column topics. These columns continue to position the CIP Society as actively engaged in evolving the ethical thinking and practice of our members and the insurance community. In addition, the articles are available on the CIP Society website for all. As well, we have been working on two additional components to our ethics program: an in-class seminar and an on-line course. The content and presentation of ethical decision-making are complementary between the in-class and online versions, but the in-class offers members the opportunity to discuss and dialogue about the case examples and/or issues they have faced. In-class Seminar: The national ethics inclass seminar has been developed and includes a PowerPoint presentation, a presenter’s package with detailed slide notes, case studies, and a participant’s activity package. The case studies are borrowed (with permission) from the Insurance Institute of America and our ethics columns are incorporated as additional resources. A pilot seminar will be presented in November, 2014 in GTA. 26 The Insurance Institute of Canada Online Course: We have added Canadian content to the Institutes’ three-hour e-course in the form of overlays on existing slides, and will be making this Canadian version available to our members via the Institutes’ website beginning this Fall. The e-course consists of seven modules and covers ethical standards, ethical theories and steps in the ethical decision-making process, and the new Canadian content clarifies subtle differences between the US and Canada in terms of regulation, law and practice. Rhind Scholarships Since the first Rhind Scholarship was awarded in 2004, the Society has awarded 25 $1,000 scholarships to members and/ or their dependents. To commemorate this 10 year milestone of granting scholarships, we have taken the opportunity to follow up with recipients of the scholarships from previous years to learn how the financial support helped them in their educational and career paths. Quotes from past recipients were included in an article in the spring issue of ADVANTAGE Quarterly. Scholarships are awarded based on need in three cascading tiers: • CIP Graduates pursuing their FCIP designation which is not otherwise supported by employer; • CIP Graduates enrolled in insurancerelated professional development which is not otherwise supported by employer; (and, if scholarships still remain:) • Dependents of CIP Society members who are pursuing postsecondary 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 2014 Rhind Scholarship Selection Committee awarded two $1,000 scholarships for the 2014-2015 academic year to: • Elizabeth Gallant (CIP Society member pursuing continuing professional development; Saint John, NB), and • McKenna Gaetz (daughter of CIP Society member Roxanne Gaetz; Leduc, AB). Continuous Learning for Graduates / Further Professional Development In previous meetings, the Council has discussed and agreed that the CIP Society has a role to play in developing and offering new continuing education/ professional development/lifelong learning opportunities appropriate to the membership. Council has also discussed and agreed that this may require revisiting the current “nationally developed/locally delivered” seminar (PROedge) model in order to address some of the constraints of this model, including difficulty in sourcing local presenters for existing presentations and ensuring consistency of the presentation, and the limited shelf-life of the seminars. Advanced CIP Program: In September 2013, the Council discussed the concept of a program which would encourage members to pursue additional CIP courses and provide recognition/certificate of completion to members, as a learning opportunity situated between the CIP and FCIP. Council was presented with an initial draft framework for the concept, prepared internally with the support of the Institute’s Programs Department, demonstrating clusters of courses ideally suited for members’ specialization. The Council endorsed the concept and framework, and struck a task force to evaluate the specifics of the program and the type of promotion and recognition that would be appropriate. Professionals’ Council Report Continued The task force determined a set of objectives and a curriculum outline that formed the basis for a recommendation from the CIP Society National Council to the Academic Council for consideration at its April 2014 meeting. The Academic Council embraced the concept and with Executive Committee approval, the program is being developed with the launch of the first course slated for September 2015. ADVANTAGE LIVE: an exchange on issues and ideas As a direct response to members indicating an interest in webinar delivery of emerging trends and issues in the industry, the CIP Society, as part of its 15th anniversary, launched an informational webinar series. For the run of the CIP Society’s 15th anniversary celebrations from October 2013 to June 2014, the Society presented a series of nine webinars, taking place around the 15th of each month and offered at $15 for Society members. The webinars covered topics relevant to our membership community – technology in cars, increased insurance regulation, industry consolidation, tipping points that could upset the safety net of insurance, multi-generations in the workforce, social media as well as softer topics like networking with intent and mentoring. The webinars offered an opportunity to interact before and during and to engage at a national level. While the webinars met the Society’s goals of advancing the education and experience of our members, part of the premise with the series was to identify the membership’s interest in webinar delivery of professional development offerings (as per indications in member surveys) and future interest in dialogue and discussion and exchange online (informing potential social media strategies). While the number of members participating in the webinars was less than expected, those who did participate evaluated the content and delivery of the series as very good. The Council evaluated the program, made some recommendations and proposed another webinar series be developed for winter/ spring 2015. INFORMATION RESOURCES The ADVANTAGE of membership is the availability of Information Services for members on a DAILY, MONTHLY and QUARTERLY basis. And as the membership survey confirms, these are valued benefits of membership. ADVANTAGE Daily: the news in brief Since May 1st, the CIP Society’s ADVANTAGE Daily has been created and distributed through the Institute’s new email system, HighRoad. The new email template includes a simpler design (more content visible “above the fold” or visible without scrolling down), singleclick subscribe/unsubscribe option, and optimization for mobile devices. This new email system allows us to track open and click rates to better understand how our members read the Daily and which features are the most popular. Over the course of the first four months, on average, our daily email service has enjoyed an open rate of between 26 and 30%, and a click rate of 24 to 26%. Additional elements are under consideration for the weekly French version of news, while still continuing to provide the link to the FlashFinance news on our website. ADVANTAGE Monthly: emerging trends and issues We continue to produce a monthly trends paper on hot topics in the industry with the help of three experienced writers. The editorial line up is mapped out at the beginning of the year and topics are generated from a variety of sources, including top headlines (from ADVANTAGE Daily) and Phil Cook’s Annual Trends Breakfast. We will be incorporating new ideas generated during the roundtable discussion at our Leadership Circle event into future papers, as well. To date, we have over 60 papers on topics ranging from pandemics, to the definition of the auto, to specialty lines. The online library now features categorization by topic making the papers searchable by year and topic; and that is in addition to the search function on the new website. We hope that members will be able to access relevant papers more readily and continue to promote this valuable service to our members through ADVANTAGE Daily and ADVANTAGE Quaterly. ADVANTAGE Quarterly: the pulse of the industry The Society’s quarterly newsletter continues to provide a vehicle to promote the Society, profile members, and advertise programs like the National Leadership Awards, Rhind Scholarships and MemberPerks to members. CIP Society Web Site www.insuranceinstitute.ca/cipsociety Since June, 2013, the CIP Society website has been integrated into the new Institute website and we continue to monitor hits and access by our graduate community. PROMOTION Promoting the Designations – Consumer Advertising Campaign (Designation and Grad Ads) Promotion of the designation is focused on advertising in national consumer magazines, local media opportunities, 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 27 Professionals’ Council Report Continued and promoting our graduates in a consumer context. National Advertising – National Business and Lifestyle Magazines Consumer advertising in magazines will continue again this year, with ads appearing in Canadian Business, Corporate Risk Canada, enRoute magazine, Maclean’s, ROB Magazine, and Les Affaires. 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 the demographic research studies that demonstrate significant increases in recruitment since 2007. This is a good news story for Career Connections and the industry. Mission Local Advertising In the spring, a series of CIP radio ads had a successful run on 680 News in Toronto, and bus shelter ads in Ottawa. Going forward our promotional strategy will be reviewed as we incorporate more public relations and social media initiatives into the marketing mix. Promoting the Society – Networking Events The Local Institutes/Chapters offer a variety of networking events to bring the community of graduates and insurance together throughout the year. These include: golf tournaments and volleyball tournaments; cocktail parties; group outings to theatre and other entertainment; skating, bowling and billiards parties and minor league hockey games; and annual special charity events like Battle of the Bands (Vancouver, Edmonton, and new this year, Halifax) and Starlight Insurance Gala (Toronto). PROMOTING CAREERS IN INSURANCE – CAREER CONNECTIONS Since 2003, Career Connections has taken the lead in promoting awareness about the rewarding and varied careers available in insurance. During these ten years, we have worked to increase the 28 The Insurance Institute of Canada 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. Four Point Strategic Plan 1. Increase awareness of careers in insurance > through our messaging 2. Put a face to the industry > through our messengers/ambassadors 3. Provide a gateway to careers in insurance > through our extensive, national outreach 4. 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 Our success year over year can be attributed to reaching out to specific audiences with relevant and timely messaging and leveraging strategic partnerships to the fullest. TOP 10 HIGHLIGHTS IN OUR 10TH YEAR OF OUTREACHTOP 10 HIGHLIGHTS IN OUR 10TH YEAR OF OUTREACH 1. Hitting new highs with our Careers in “Insurance Week” hosted by TalentEgg.ca! • Office Hours with Trevor: in which the number of participants nearly doubled last year, with 357 career seekers participating in an hour-long online chat, asking questions and getting answers about careers in insurance; • Metro magazine article: TalentEgg’s partnership with Metro magazines of regular columns in their “Working” section, once again netted up a high profile article on April 25th, potentially read by 3 million commuters in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Regina, London, Halifax, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto; • Great content in their ‘Careers in Insurance’ section: featuring articles and interviews with insurance professionals provides great exposure to post-secondary students searching for career information – and content remains available all year round, not just for the one-week promotion of Insurance Week! 2. Doubling our Career Connections website traffic year over year! Last year at this time we reported unique visits of approximately 4,000+; this year it’s 9,000+ unique visitors per month. Overall, we more than doubled the sessions, users and pageviews for the website, year over year (Aug 2013-July 2014 vs Aug 2012-July 2013: Sessions = 110,455 vs 51,342| Users = 87,077 vs 41,129| Pageviews = 252,326 vs 133,902). For key sections of the website, like the job site, we nearly doubled visits in just six months, increasing from 21,000 hits to 37,000 hits. We attribute the increase to more outreach, social ad campaigns driving career seekers to our website, and linkages with the likes of Talentegg.ca and jobpostings. ca and other career resource centres. 3. Partnering in CGA Alberta’s Accounting & Finance Expos Professionals’ Council Report Continued provides outreach to 2000+ potential candidates in the ‘tough Alberta market’! And positions insurance as a pillar of the financial services sector with career changers, Internationallyeducated/trained professionals (IEPs/ITPs) and recent graduates looking for a career in financial services. In both Edmonton and Calgary, these proved to be fantastic niche style events on a larger scale than what we’ve done with CGA Ontario previously. We look forward to continue to work with the accounting associations, particularly when they have fully made the transition to ‘Chartered Professional Accountant’ and we can leverage the ‘professional’ for our CIP promotion. 4. Continuing to enhance our outreach to career practitioners! We do this in order to ensure that those who act as intermediaries in the career decision-making cycle are fully aware and capable of referring appropriate clients to information on careers in insurance (on our website, the videos, our online career profiles, and to educational information). We reach the career practitioner community across the country by: a. participating in the Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers (CACEE), through active membership, as well as attendance and networking at their conferences; b. advertising on contactpoint.ca, a multi-sector online community for professionals in the career development field, hosted by the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling (CERIC); c. conducting webinars and in-service sessions to provide a Career Connections overview and orientation to our messaging, website and resources; welcoming career practitioners/employer partners on-site to network, learn a little bit more about the Institute and engage in professional development; and d. creating a new section on our website for career advisors. 5. Leveraging partnerships for greatest outreach! In addition to those partners already mentioned above, we have benefitted from greater outreach by leveraged partnerships with: • WoodGreen Employment Centre (youth and immigrant employment centre in GTA), • Health Force Ontario (helping IEPs in health care roles find employment), • CASIP (providing alternative careers for IEPs/ITPs in GTA ), • McMaster University Faculty of Science – Actuarial Science Program, • Toronto Financial Services Alliance (TFSA) – Corporate Tours for high school students and postsecondary school students (and soon expanding into Career Changer activities), • Employment Alberta and Calgary Public Library, and many others! 6. Increasing our insurance-specific programming is netting greater quality over quantity! The more outreach we do that is insurance-specific , such as hosting “Careers in Insurance” career fairs and panel presentations, more over participating in general career fairs – the more rewarding the conversation and the connection! This year, 40% of the events targeted at post-secondary school students were insurance-specific, and 60% of our outreach to career changers is insurance specific. That means that of the 101 career events we did this year, 41 were specifically positioned as a ‘careers in insurance’ event. We know that our staff, our ambassadors and the employers who participate are having quality conversations with 7,000+ candidates who chose to attend and are genuinely interested in considering a career in the insurance industry. 7. Increasing engagement and action! On the continuum of awareness to engagement to action, we are generating greater engagement and action from potential candidates! • a greater number of follow-up questions from general career fairs, • our strategy for ‘multiple touch points’ with potential candidates is working; for example, if, at a general career fair, we promote a panel presentation and/or a career fair in the future, we’re having more candidates purposefully attending that next event as well. • higher attendance on average at panel conversations and insurance career fairs, • higher interaction with our tools and messaging: • 11,000+ people taking our quiz, • 1800+ making use of insurance specific resume resources and networking tools, • 37,000+ visits to the job site (nearly doubled since May), and • 53,000+ views of our videos (up from 22,000 a year ago). 8. Continuing to enhance our outreach to high school teachers! 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 29 Professionals’ Council Report Continued We do this in order to ensure that those who act as intermediaries to high school students (teachers, guidance counsellors, program advisors, teacher associations, etc.) are aware of the many free resources available to help youth understand how insurance works (teacher resources) and to introduce youth to career opportunities in the insurance industry (ambassador career talks). We potentially reach more than 125,000 high school teachers each year across the country by: a. attending teacher conferences and giving presentations on our resources; b. networking with teacher associations and other groups facilitating school to work transitions; and c. advertising in teacher association publications and websites. 9. Demonstrating value and connection for the human resources professionals (and hiring managers) in the industry! We do this in order to ensure that our outreach aligns with the needs of the industry and that our efforts to increase the pool of potential candidates helps the industry meet their hiring needs. We engage with those in the industry concerned about and vested in the recruitment and retention needs of their organizations by: a. Hosting “careers in insurance” fairs – on campuses, in communities and at the Institute; 7 to date this year – which have enabled 8 to 12 organizations per event to connect with potential candidates. Employers are 30 The Insurance Institute of Canada leveraging the opportunities we provide to augment their recruitment strategies and are finding interested and quality candidates at our events. b. Participating in ‘internal career fairs’ at key companies who are implementing strategies to retain entry level workers by introducing them to the variety of careers in insurance and education pathways (with our help) and to opportunities within their organizations. c. Hosting roundtables on recruitment and retention issues in key centers like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Conestoga. These discussion forums offer the opportunity to share and learn about common issues facing employers in the industry. Career Connections learns a lot from the discussions and feedback from recruiters and hiring managers indicates that they are anticipated and appreciated opportunities. d. Enhancing our website’s industry section with updated tools and resources HR can use. e. Consulting and collaborating together. We’ve called upon HR representatives for learning opportunities (Let’s Talk Talent), as panelists in our webinar series (the CIP Society’s ADVANTAGE Live webinars), as task force members (Advanced CIP Program Task Force), and for consultation. HR has called upon Institute/Career Connections representatives for presentations, information and advice. 10.Continuing to have industry professionals act as Ambassadors for the industry! Within our roster of 361 ambassadors, we have some longstanding, some incredibly dedicated and, each year some newly trained who join the team as eager participants in our outreach efforts. Our continuing success will be enhanced by the strategic refreshing and augmenting of our resources in order 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 recommendation 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. • Enable internationally-trained professionals (ITPs) to ‘see themselves’ as having a place in the industry through our materials. We are proceeding with a series of focus groups of respective cohorts that will inform the resource refresh project, including additional videos for the web site and YouTube. We look forward to continuing the evolution of Career Connections messaging and career resources. The search for talented and motivated people to join our industry continues. Significant retirements are still to come. Competition for talent within a smaller youth pool means our recruitment efforts will have to diversify – hence the refresh and augmentation of our Career Connections resources. We have seen significant changes in the demographic composition of the industry in the last 5 years, and it is anticipated that talent will revolutionize the workforce over Professionals’ Council Report Continued The CIP Society National Council members are: Leadership Awards Selection Sub-Committee Chair: Chair: Julie Pingree, BA, CIP Toronto, ON Paul Féron, FCIP, CRM London, ON IN CONCLUSION Members: Members: It has been my pleasure to take on the role of Chair of the CIP Society National Council, this year, in its 15th anniversary year.

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 enjoyed another successful year 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 but solid gains. To better manage the volatility and cost of the Institute’s pension liabilities, the defined benefit plan was closed to new hires effective December 31, 2013 and replaced with an industry-competitive defined contribution plan. Additionally, the assets held in the grandfathered DB plan have been de-risked significantly and Institute employees have been asked to increase their contributions to the plan, with proper notice given to them. A continued focus on membership renewals together with strong local institute initiatives resulted in the Insurance Institutes showing a modest gain of 228 members to establish another new all-time membership high of 39,287 members. CIP Society membership grew by a healthy 3.2% or 538 members to reach another new high of 17,563 members. 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, Neil Morrison, BA (Hons) Deputy Chair, Board of Governors We 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 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 35 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 Insurance Institute of Canada/L'Institut d'Assurance du Canada which comprise the balance sheet at July 31, 2014 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 ExpendituresCareer 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. 36 The Insurance Institute of Canada 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Institute as at July 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for notfor-profit organizations.

Statements July 31, 2014 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, examination fees and corresponding text fees revenue 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 44 The Insurance Institute of Canada 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. Financial Statements The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2014 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 expense is computed on an actuarial basis using the projected benefits method and based on management's best estimates and other factors. Any actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the accrued benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the year are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. 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 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. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 45 Financial Statements July 31, 2014 The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Notes to Financial Statements 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.

Comparative Figures Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year's method of presentation. 12. 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 optimise 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 $1,788,169 (2013-$1,736,520) in foreign equities investments denominated in US dollars. The risks have not changed from the prior year. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 51 Financial Statements The Insurance Institute of Canada/ L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada Schedule of Consolidated Operating Activities For the year ended July 31 20142013 Revenue Agents licensing $386,990 $316,967 Job site 19,58318,265 Tuition1,945,0841,768,904 Economic benefits 7,6079,340 Educational programs 8,4884,561 Examination fees 3,037,7313,164,117 Fellowship program 394,092352,180 Memberships1,614,9881,589,306 National subscribers 2,660,1982,657,773 Text fees 3,012,088 2,833,719 13,086,849 12,715,132 Expenditures Agents licensing 53,319 52,136 Bank and credit card charges 172,978195,001 Bursaries and prizes 75,57768,566 Business development 370,968408,906 Council expenses 8,9879,156 Economic benefits 175,051144,077 Educational programs 89,90077,757 Equipment leasing, maintenance and support 67,04998,322 Examination expenses 227,418238,197 Fellowship program 149,76299,228 Grants to provincial institutes 467,897490,330 High school program 25,6166,655 Insurance 49,53043,664 Marketing and advertising 703,042701,152 Membership 30,35127,595 Office maintenance and renovation 110,09670,652 Postage 236,367216,495 Printing, stationery 372,927306,595 Professional fees 56,53869,641 Rent and taxes 729,756727,768 Salaries and benefits 7,400,5817,469,444 Technology 352,831334,570 Telephone -47,741 Translation office 5,1135,294 Travel 507,289523,120 Tutors and authors 55,833 44,680 12,494,776 12,476,742 Less: Recoveries from the Insurance Institute of Ontario (431,197) (452,664) 12,063,579 12,024,078 1,023,270 691,054 Investment income, net 733,684 520,804 Excess of revenue over expenditures for the year 52 The Insurance Institute of Canada $1,756,954 $ 1,211,858 Regional Reports 2013 – 2014 Western Region representing the Western institutes: The Insurance Institute of British Columbia The Insurance Institute of Northern Alberta The Insurance Institute of Southern Alberta The Insurance Institute of Saskatchewan The Insurance Institute of Manitoba Ontario Region representing Ontario and its Chapters: Cambrian Shield Chapter Conestoga Chapter Hamilton/Niagara Chapter Kawartha/Durham Chapter Ottawa Chapter Southwestern Ontario Chapter Quebec Region representing: IADQ (région de l’est) IADQ (région de l’ouest) Atlantic Region representing the Atlantic institutes: Insurance Institute of New Brunswick The Insurance Institute of Newfoundland & Labrador Insurance Institute of Nova Scotia The Insurance Institute of Prince Edward Island 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 53 Western Regional Report Glenda Ouellette, BA, MBA, FCIP Regional Vice-Chair, Western Provinces Introduction Membership (See figure A) CIP Program (See figure B) The 2013/14 year has been a very positive year for the Western Institutes. The year has resulted in positive growth in membership, classes, events and seminars. Some of the highlights include: • Membership increasing from prior year • CIP program participants exceed prior year results and current year target • Seminar programs expanded in most of our Institutes • Highly successful events with record level attendance • Increased focus on licensing products Overall membership in the Western Institutes increased 1.8% over prior period, a record year for membership. All institutes experienced an increase with Saskatchewan experiencing the greatest increase in both number and percentage. Overall the Western Institutes experienced an increase in CIP students over prior period and against target. The number of classes delivered from our target was only down by 2%, while the number of students exceeded target by 2%. Saskatchewan had the largest increase of CIP students due mainly to the following strategies undertaken with SGI: implementation of company bill payment process, 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 classes to reach out to rural students. IIBC, IISA and IINA experienced an increase in student attendees over prior period while just below target. IIM exceeded their target. IIM is planning to introduce a C14 virtual class in the fall which will attract remote students. ICBC has also effectively promoted the Institute programs to their staff and the results have shown in the 2014 spring semester. Programming for the next year will continue to target the underrepresented groups of independent brokers, as well as those outside the larger metropolitan areas.

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 Master Instructor Certification program. This is complemented with direct student development by way of examination preparation seminars. Western Regional Report Continued This year IISA finalized their instructor recruiting/on-boarding procedures and it includes a mentorship aspect whereby the successful candidates will sit in on a semester of an established Instructor teaching the class. Then the following semester, the new Instructor teaches and the established Instructor provides mentorship and is available for questions and support. C11 Students (See figure C) An important measure is the number of students in C11, the entry point into the CIP program. The Western Institutes were up 16% over prior year with growth coming from BC and Saskatchewan. The decline in Manitoba is primarily attributable to an unusually large number of students in fiscal 12/13 possibly combined with impacts of the CIP course compensation changes that previously took place at Manitoba Public Insurance and was reported on last year. Events and Seminars (See figure D) The number of events and seminars continued its historic strength in 2013/14 for the Western Institutes. Seminar Attendance (See figure E) The seminar program had excellent results surpassing last year’s total by 17%. British Columbia saw an average of 36 seminar participants for their seminars using popular topics such as Earthquake, and Emerging Issues in Strata Ownership. 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 seminar sponsored by a restoration company.

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 virtual licensing class that greatly benefited students residing in more remote communities. The Insurance Institute of Saskatchewan, is looking at expanding their licensing program and offering a virtual class in 2014 for their new restricted automobile course 2374 to complement their existing licensing courses. IIS also received approval through the Insurance Council of Saskatchewan to offer a condensed restricted auto licensing course. The Alberta Institutes were also busy this year addressing the new licensing exams provided by the Insurance Council. Amendments were required to study kits to address these changes. Northern Alberta will be looking at offering a licensing course in 2015 to further assist 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 55 Western Regional Report Continued Convocation (See figure G) Event Attendance (Figure F) The total number of graduates for convocations at the Western Institutes was up from prior year and as expected, the convocation attendance matched that increase. We anticipate the number of FCIP graduates will increase as we approach 2017, as members fulfill the requirements for the old track FCIP program.

Event Attendance (See figure F) Participation at Institute events was strong again in the 2013/2014 fiscal with an increase of 16% over prior year. Overall focus continued to be on recognition and visibility of the CIP designation, the CIP Society and the Insurance Institute brand; networking opportunities for members; and fundraising for charities. Some of key events from around the West included: • In British Columbia they held a 5th annual “All Star” Battle of the Insurance Bands, featuring the winning bands from the past four years. They raised $6416 for the Vancouver Food Bank and attendance was up 20% over last year’s event. 56 The Insurance Institute of Canada • Northern Alberta and Southern Alberta held successful Battle of the Insurance Bands raising money for charity. • Manitoba jointly hosted a Curling Fun spiel with the Blue Goose International (Manitoba Pond). • CIP Society Golf tournaments held in British Columbia (Surrey, Victoria, & Kelowna), Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan were each successful. • IIBC also hosted networking cocktail events in Victoria, Nanaimo and Kelowna and launched their first wine tasting networking event. The wine tasting event sold out in one week with 52 attendees and, due to its popularity, IIBC be offering it twice a year going forward. • In July 2014 the IIBC in Kelowna hosted a boat cruise instead of a golf tournament. • IISA held their first ever networking event in Lethbridge. As outlined above, many industry events highlight the CIP Society and the value it provides to Institute members. Promotion of the CIP Society remains at the forefront for the Western Institutes. Some highlights of the past year include: • British Columbia continued transit advertising with wide coverage in a focused 2-month campaign in addition to their extensive program of advertising in the Vancouver area. In March/April, during Spring and Easter breaks, IIBC advertised at the Vancouver airport on 4 baggage carrousels (2 International and 2 Domestic). In May, IIBC tried a new advertising initiative and advertised on Pedicabs in downtown Victoria during the Insurance Brokers Association of BC annual convention. • Digital advertising was also used by Saskatchewan on digital billboards located in Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw. • CAIB graduates receive targeted congratulatory letters with information on transfer credits to the CIP Program. • Extensive advertising in trade publications such as Broker magazines, business publications and local newspapers. Career Connections As in prior years, the Western Institutes continue to expand the ambassador Western Regional Report Continued program with attendance at a number of career fairs and school presentations. These are supplemented with programs such as: • Feed the Minds of Youth annual events • Recognition events for our ambassadors and volunteers • Margaret Parent and Trevor Buttrum travelled to Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver in June of 2014 to host a well-timed HR Round Table discussion. Other The Western Institutes have been impacted or see opportunities to expand deliver of programs such as: • Alberta - Continuing to leverage licensing changes in Alberta that took effect June 30, 2014. • Saskatchewan – new restricted auto course supporting licensing changes • IIBC – working with brokers and ICBC to support employee participation in CIP programs and to maintain the growth of the level 1 licensing program in BC • Manitoba – develop and implement a licensing kit and expand offerings in rural areas All Western Institutes continue to develop strong working relationships within the insurance industry. This includes broker associations and local insurance councils. The local Councils and many volunteers are most proud of their many accomplishments. I thank them for their commitment and dedication to the Institutes and its members. As always, sincere appreciation to Margaret Wasserman and Mike Divjak for their leadership and assistance. Respectfully submitted, Glenda Ouellette, BA, MBA, FCIP Regional Vice Chair, Western Provinces. Conclusion The past year has been very successful for the Western Institutes with increasing membership, strong CIP course enrolment, and good seminar and event programs in place. All experienced positive financial outcomes as well. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 57 Ontario Regional Report Donna Ince, CA, CIP Regional Vice Chair, Ontario Introduction 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. 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 the planned budget expectations. Membership (See figure A) Using the membership numbers at the end of July, the IIC fiscal year, and compared to last year at the same time, there is an increase in the membership number (859) which is a reflection of the excellent efficiency of the annual membership renewal drive. Overall retention is currently at 81% compared to 80% at the same time last year. Several areas of the province are experiencing a downturn; Southwestern, Cambrian Shield, Conestoga and Ottawa with GTA, Hamilton/Niagara and Kawartha/Durham all renewing higher numbers than last year. There is also some influence on the timing of this report as the registration of members does occur with the class registration for the fall CIP program. Also the local chapters are now following up individually with the unpaid graduates and students so it is expected that many of our members will pay their dues in the next couple of months. Programs CIP Program: End of August 2014 (See figure B) 58 The Insurance Institute of Canada Although the total number of class participants still remained short by 30 students, the expense management that was gained by larger class sizes, 16.8 per class average, rather than a plan of 15.3, resulted in positive results for the CIP program. Southwestern Chapter fell considerably short of plan (56%) and the GTA exceeded their planned goal by 9%. The rest of the chapters were all slightly under plan on the total participation in the CIP program. Specific attention should be made to the spring semester which continues to decline in participation. GTA’s positive numbers can still be attributed to the increasing participation in virtual classes. Logically we are seeing a decline in off-site classes, as these students are utilizing the virtual classes rather than a location outside of the local chapter. In- house classes at our stakeholder locations was also down this year. Many of the companies that are busy with mergers or other significant internal initiatives are choosing to forgo offering classes at their location while they are busy with internal changes. For Ontario, we continue to have our instructors participate in the ICP courses and receive feedback that it is making a difference. Adding to the current roster of 18 certified instructors are 15 that are currently enrolled participants. Many others are waiting for the roll out of the next cohort starting in late October. Seminars (See figure C) The seminar program has been a bigger challenge this year, so we are pleased with the final results. Key competition is still coming from our stakeholder partners who are assisting their broker partners with many of the key hot topics that are out in the industry currently such as Cyber Risk and Telematics. Having said that, much of the IIO focus this year has been on the many weather related offerings, where we have continued our partnership with both the Insurance Bureau of Canada and the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction. Our biggest challenge this year has been around the Pro-edge level seminars where we were not able to meet our goals for the number of participants. For the current year, there is a renewed focus on long term planning for the seminar program and the fall will once again be launched with our series of three complimentary webinars that are offered to paid members of the IIO. This concept was launched for the first time last year and met with positive results. Events for fun and networking continue to be successful around the province. The changes this year have been the introduction of a few new offerings and an increase in partnerships with other associations. For example, Ottawa will now be sharing their annual golf tournament with the local RIMs group, Conestoga has had their second annual Tri –association Curling bonspiel, and Kawartha/Durham will be hosting the third annual volleyball tournament in conjunction with the Durham Brokers association in September.

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. 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 59 Ontario Regional Report Continued Local Industry Issues affecting Institutes Adding to other environmental factors such as the long wait for government rules on demutualization, and the impact of the government directive to reduce automobile rates by 15%, Ontario is dealing with the implementation of the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation that was in effect on July 1st. The original challenges impacted stakeholders who need to reduce expenses and spend their education dollars cautiously. 60 The Insurance Institute of Canada CASL regulations impact the main source of communication to our members; electronic distribution. To comply with the regulations we have new software, and considerable staff training, and while it is taking some time, the end result will be a positive change overall. Conclusion Overall, at the end of the IIC fiscal year, the IIO is showing a positive fiscal result with revenues at about 6.5% ahead of the numbers last year at this time. Expenses are holding at about 4% over last year and although some of this could be timing, we are seeing positive signs of solid participation by students in our fall semester. Respectfully Submitted, Donna Ince, CA, CIP Regional Vice Chair, Ontario Québec Regional Report François Côté, FPAA, CRM Regional Vice-Chair, IADQ Introduction Membership (Figure A) The year marked the 20th anniversary of the merge of the of l’Institut d’assurance de l’Est du Québec and l’Institut d’assurance du Québec thus creating the Institut d’assurance de dommages du Québec (IADQ). 2013-2014 was a good year also for we met our membership objective and surpassed the objectives in regards to CIP program and Continuing education. Membership (See figure A) We are pleased to report that membership is up 1% as per target. The Quebec region members represent 11% of the Canadian membership and 13% with regards to the CIP Society membership. Our objective for the upcoming year is an increase of 1% again with a special attention to target brokers. CIP Program (See figure B) Results with regards to the CIP Program are very good with a slight 2% decrease in classes and a 4% increase for students. Public Seminar Attendance (See figure C) Employers’ In House training (See figure D) There are two types of Seminars available for the Quebec members, public and “in house”. “In house” seminars are sessions delivered at the broker or insurer location as opposed to the public sessions that are planned Institute Total Membership May 2013 May 2014 Variance # % IADQ 4,4934,539 +46 1% CIP Program (Figure B) Institute TOTAL (2013/2014) 2012/2013 % Variance IADQ Classes Total Students Classes Students Classes Students 49625 50601 -2% 4% Public Seminar Attendance (Figure C) Institute 013/2014 Participant IADQ 2012/2013 Participant Seminar # # % Variance # Seminar % Variance # 45 1 05032 82940% 27% by IADQ at public locations such as hotels.

(See figure E) Again, for the 6th year, this meet the underwriter event was a complete success with more than 772 attendees (brokers, underwriters and insurance students) up from 759 prior year. This is the only event of its kind where we invite future insurance professionals to participate and meet insurance brokers and underwriters (both personal lines and commercial lines) and actually experience first-hand the networking that is unique to our industry. Golf tournament Career Connections Our June golf tournament was again a success with a participation of more than 235 golfers. There were 4 events in 2013/2014 in different universities. Now we have 16 ambassadors that actively represent our Numbers are up as they usually are in Year 2 of the 24 month period for the PDU credits which are mandatory for all licensed members (brokers, agents and claims adjusters). 2013 – 2014 Annual Report 61 Québec Regional Report Continued industry exclusively for the university students. May I remind you that representation in High schools and Colleges (CEGEP) for the province of Quebec is assumed by La Coalition pour la promotion des professions en assurance de dommages. Local Industry Issues affecting Institutes In respect of the Quebec operational plan for which the highlights were presented last year, here are specific actions that were undertaken to address issues and concerns with regards to these orientations: Notoriety, Core Business, Non Core Business, Membership, Volunteers and Operational Excellence. • 25 employers were visited to promote the Insurance Institute’s products and services • Presentations of the Insurance Institute were done in 10 Colleges (CEGEP) (answering the big questions: who we are? what do we do? what do we offer? and why is it good for you?) • @insdassuranceQC is present on Twitter as per our marketing plan with regards to social media that was produced last year. We already have 120 followers. We plan to be on linkedin in Q3 2014. • For the second year, we have produced in collaboration with the Quebec Broker Association (RCCAQ) a 42 pages brochure which includes our training offering. This document is distributed to over 600 broker offices in the province. • The new industry event Trends and Issues that was created by General Manager François Houle was a great success again this year.

This event takes place twice a year in both Montreal and Quebec. CIP Web based classes are still a concern and we are not satisfied with the results. We feel that we should take the lead, not only in online education, but also in regards to online continuing education. In effect, we have met with three possible partners (including IIC) to help us meet the needs of our students in regard to online asynchronous seminars thus creating added value to our members. As discussed in the last regional meeting, we ask that the IIC should consider online courses (synchronous and asynchronous) as offered in most universities and colleges. We feel that the distance learners will be better served in that matter. Conclusion I would like to thank all the Board members, our GM François Houle as well as the permanent staff, instructors and, of course, our very appreciated volunteers for their commitment and hard work. FCIP Total grads 6818 89 I wish to also thank the IIC personnel for their support and professionalism. A special thanks to Peter Hohman and Mike Divjak. It was a privilege to work with you both. I will miss our chats and regional meetings. As you can see throughout 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, François Côté, FCIP, CRM Regional Vice-chair, Quebec Atlantic Regional Report Darrel Coates, CIP, CRM Regional Vice-Chair, Atlantic Provinces Introduction seeing the highest growth of 2.1% or 22 members with IIPE and IINS at 1.5% and 1.3% respectively. IINL expects to see continuous interest in their Licensing Home Study product which will provide opportunity for increased membership. The growth rate slowed this year over prior mainly due to some industry restructuring that has impacted the Atlantic provinces in particular Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It has been a pleasure to work with the Atlantic Regional Institutes for the year. 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) Membership (See figure A) We continue to see increases in Virtual Class delivery in all Atlantic Institutes. Student’s preference for virtual classes has resulted in an increase in class Overall the Atlantic Region increased membership by 1.5% and with IINB Membership (Figure A) May 31, 2013 As of May 31, 2014 # Variance % Variance Institute IINB 1061 1083 222.1% IINS 1433 1451 181.3% IIPEI IINL Total 131 133 21.5% 463 468 51.1% enrollment by 18% and allowing students in rural areas to take advantage of instructor lead courses. IIPE Institute added 2 new virtual classes this year resulting in 15 additional students and offered courses in all 3 semesters. Close collaboration with other Atlantic Institutes resulted in successful IIPE classes. IINB & 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. IINL had a slight drop in CIP attendance however, with some additional marketing activities to CAIB and licensing students we expect the numbers to improve. They will be working with the instructors to further enhance their skills by offering the new Instructor Certificate Program.

The first seminar, in January, had 59 in attendance. IINL and IINB held free seminars for members during National Education week and they were well attended. Each Institute held various events, ranging from golf, curling, softball and bowling to a pub night, wine & cheese, meet & greets, spring flings and soirées. Overall, there was a good mix of networking and charity events. IINS added a new event this year, Battle of the Insurance Bands (a charity event), which attracted 129 registrations. IINB held a seminar followed by a boat cruise blending the two items together for one event was a novel idea and it was well attended. IIPE held a very successful golf tournament in September with the highest number of attendees at 52 and 19 hole sponsors. Convocation Ceremonies held throughout the Atlantic recognized a total of 81 graduates and included 7 FCIP, 65 CIP and 9 GIE graduates. The number of graduates at IINB was up this year, as were attendees; IINL had a number of graduates consistent with prior year, with an increase in attendees; and both IINS & IIPEI saw a decrease in the number of graduates. greet type gatherings with a number of them reaching capacity. Taking advantage of these well attended events, the institutes fundraised and gave back to their communities and organizations with thousands of dollars in cash donations to such organizations as Crime Stoppers and Camp Triumph and collected tons of food items for their local food banks. Together the Institutes celebrated National Education Week by holding Daily Trivia contests with an average of 569 entries as well as an Atlantic Essay Contest that drew 18 entries from within all four provinces. The winner was Jody Willigar, CIP of Intact Insurance in Dartmouth, NS on the topic of Cyber Bullying. IINB published an eight-page insert for the 2013 convocation in the Telegraph Journal (Saint John), the Times & Transcript (Moncton) and the Daily Gleaner (Fredericton) and also placed ads in the Atlantic Hockey Group magazine & Veterans magazine.
