Join us for important updates on our insurance program, and learn how your congregation can benefit.

Erik Mathiesen from The United Church General Council Office, and representatives of HUB International are presenting this special webinar to review changes to our insurance program since it first launched 18 months ago. In this webinar you'll learn:

• cost savings that churches across the country achieved through this major initiative, and a frank admission of where service standards fell short
• ways in which HUB's customer service has been re-structured to better meet the needs of every subscriber
• how your congregation should plan for your December 2024 renewal
• how your congregation can sign up for the program, if you're not already involved.

Update on June 26

I'm writing to let you know that we're expecting a large meeting tonight. We have 422 registrations right now ... and I've just added a "Large Meeting" feature to our Zoom account so we can accommodate up to 500 in the Zoom room.

If, by chance, you end up unable to connect by Zoom because the meeting room is full, please know that I am also streaming to YouTube. You can follow the live stream here: https://www.youtube.com/live/BnRRzywHFrk

If you have a Google account, you can log in and add your questions to the chat from there too.

And please know that the same YouTube link will take you to the recording as well.
