Happy Halloween! It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of October, and that I have only two remaining shows to attend in 2015.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending the Independent Insurance Agents of Illinois convention in the Illinois state capital of Springfield. Sean Koop from the Chicago office of RT Specialty attended the convention with me this year.

The motivational speaker was Mike Rayburn. He uses his guitar and a series of questions to motivate his audience to ask themselves “what if”. It was a great way to engage with the audience, and there was a lot of energy and enthusiasm in the room as a result.

In addition to the several education classes, luncheons, and of course the tradeshow, there was an outdoor music festival! We were fortunate to have great fall weather to enjoy the evening.

I am looking forward to the Indiana “Big I” Convention next week in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Have a great weekend,

Cindy Hogan
