VOLUNTEER SPEAKERS
Coordinated by the
Washington Insurance Council
CONSUMER QUESTIONS
For many people, insurance can be confusing. The concept is simple,
but the process can be complex. It's a world of peculiar terms, unfamiliar
company procedures, questions about what's covered and what's not and
how all of this relates to the cost of insurance.
EDUCATION
The Washington Insurance Council was formed in 1968 as a consumer
education/information organization. WIC is a nonprofit representative
of the insurance industry. Committed to educating the public in the state
of Washington, WIC presents the facts about how insurance works and suggests
ways for the consumer to prevent loss. This in turn can have a positive
effect on premium costs.

THE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE
WIC sponsors an educational program made up of local volunteers
who speak in their communities. These speakers present free, non-commercial,
timely information. WIC speakers work with civic groups, service clubs,
schools, and may other gatherings to share up-to-date information with
consumers. These knowledgeable speakers are trained on a variety of insurance
related topics.
KNOWLEDGE BUILDS UNDERSTANDING
This "people to people" approach -- talking with
consumers about their insurance questions -- is a valuable means of communicating
the various aspects of the insurance story.
