Wellness Certification Course. Did you know that “controllable behaviors” — overeating, smoking and physical inactivity — account for nearly 25 percent of all U.S. health care spending? Imagine if your employer clients could reduce these costs from their total benefit spending. To address controllable behaviors, many companies are adopting wellness programs. But are such programs effective, and do they offer a return on investment?
Employee Benefits professionals are asked questions like these every day. The ability to not only answer the questions but provide timely, effective advice is essential. For this reason, NAHU is sponsoring a new Wellness Certification course that addresses these issues in a comprehensive overview that draws upon dozens of sources. Approved for two hours of continuing education for insurance in 48 states the course addresses:
- Communicating the need for wellness and prevention
- Demonstrating the effectiveness of wellness and case studies
- The business case for wellness, and guidance on implementation
- Compliance and legal issues
- Creating incentives for participation
- Measuring return on investment
If you want to stand out among your peers and are looking for real education to improve your knowledge, this course is for you. Your clients depend on you, so make sure you have the answers.
The cost of this course is $90 for NAHU members and $115 for non-members. Certification in Wellness expertise will be provided following completion of the course and an online examination with a passing grade.

Insurance Partners Academy in partnership with MAIA presents…
Producer Peak Performance Training…Partnering Producers with Knowledge
Producers learn what it really takes to be a top performer. Successful producers are experts in execution, have high closing ratios and are well liked by carriers and their staff.
Whether a producer works for a small, medium or large agency, the reality is all producers are in business for themselves. Top producers are resourceful. They know how to engage prospects and underwriters, manage the marketing process and their team, negotiate for support assistance, secure resources and navigate through the procedures and structure of their own agency. The knowledge gained from this class shows producers how to manage expectations of their prospects and clients, increase sales and closing ratios, garner support and resources, improve technical skills and enhance their credibility as an insurance professional.
Taught by veteran insurance agent, Maureen Gallagher (click for bio), and marketing dynamo, Debbie DeChambeau (click for bio), this educational opportunity combines the presenters forty years of “real world” experience in a timely, detailed class loaded with practical information.
