The program, developed by the National Association of Insurance Women (NAIW) International, is the organization’s most prestigious and popular development program. Participants in the course have an opportunity to develop their stage presence, thought organization, and presentation methods through which they can enhance their abilities in their chosen career and in NAIW.
Deborah will go on to compete at the regional level at the Region III Conference in April 2004 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and if she is successful there, she will compete at the national level at the NAIW National Convention in June 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The state level speak-off was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, Inc. Mgrs. of Charleston, SC, for the eight straight year. Additionally, Johnson & Johnson will sponsor the state winner to the regional contest for the ninth straight year.
NAIW is an association of nearly 13,000 insurance professionals dedicated to the development of leaders in the insurance industry. The national organization has 360 local affiliates throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, with headquarters in Tulsa, Okla.

National President's Community Focus: Partners in Literacy
National President Linda Santiso announced NAIW's new community focus: Partners in Literacy. President Santiso announced, "Literacy was selected as the national focus for the association, because it supports who we are. Our organization was formed with the purpose of education and improving industry relations. What better way to support the purpose of this organization than to encourage others to learn to read? The famous Roman Philosopher Cicero wrote "Read at every wait; read at all hours; read within leisure; read in times of labor; read as one goes in; read as one goes out. The test of the educated mind is simply put: Read to Lead." President Santiso encourages all members to join us as we take the lead in promoting literacy within our communities by partnering with local organizations and libraries in support of this endeavor. More information regarding Partners for Literacy will be posted to NAIW website and included in NAIW Now.
