The Missouri Department of Insurance and Director John M. Huff were pleased to host the first Director's Regulatory Summit in Columbia on Dec. 6, 2012. Members of Missouri's insurance industry, whether that's company officials or agents, were invited to attend.

The summit was an opportunity to better understand Missouri laws and regulations for conducting the business of insurance in the state.

Department leadership updated best practices for form and rate filings, licensing, solvency analysis, handling of consumer complaints and more.

This event was eligible for six hours of continuing education (CE) credit for Missouri-licensed insurance producers and 5.7 hours of continuing legal education (CLE).
