WELCOME NEW CONTRIBUTORS
We are delighted to welcome four companies that have joined the ranks of IEI as new contributors. Baltimore Equitable Insurance, Buckeye Insurance Company, Erie Insurance Group, and Zurich Insurance Group have all signed on to help grow the mission of the Foundation through their donation. We thank each of these new contributors for their willingness to step forward and help educate our young people.
In addition, 26 percent of the 2004 renewing contributors have increased their 2005 contributions. We appreciate the support and the new momentum that those contributions are providing to IEI.
NEW PROGRAMS - IN SEARCH OF FUNDING
IEI continues to reach out to more high school teachers and students. At the recent board meeting, the Board of Directors approved three new programs aimed at ratcheting up the number of students being provided quality instruction in risk management.
The three new initiatives are focused strictly on educating teachers, educating students, and measuring the effectiveness of the Institute programs. We will create an online Institute for those teachers who cannot attend a summer Institute, partner with another financial services foundation to create a web-based insurance module for students, and conduct an impact study to measure the improvement in knowledge of students after completing an insurance course taught by an Institute graduate.
