At Creative, we promote Continuing Education in a variety of ways. We participate in AAMGA seminars, present our own trucking seminar each spring for our producers, offer internal mentoring and other special classes. We feel continuing education is necessary for us to meet the expertise expectations of our producers.

Wendy Duncan
Policy Production

Allow us to introduce a valuable part of our Creative Team, Wendy Duncan. Wendy focuses on a critical portion of our business, policy production and endorsement issuance. While our underwriters focus on helping you secure your business accounts, Wendy helps to ensure you receive the necessary policies in a timely fashion. Prior to joining Creative, Wendy worked for a trucking company and also attended Ivy Tech for Medical Administration.
We have now completed our conversion from paper to paperless. As we are now a digital office, our underwriters have immediate access to all inforce policy information. This will enhance our responsiveness and enable real time issuance of policies, renewals and endorsements for those agents that are ready. This can save several days off of delivery time when not depending on ground paper mail. Your commercial clients may prefer receiving digital policy information as well in lieu of paper. This digital office initiative is in line with our goals of providing expertise and state of the art service.

Creative Underwriters was again recognized at the AAMGA annual meeting as meeting requirements needed for "Certified Managing General Agency" designation (CMGA). This is truly an honor and we will continue to develop the skills of our staff through such educational efforts. Advanced technical abilities provide an edge that we cannot afford to be without.
