Save-the-date for IINS 72nd Annual Convocation and Awards Ceremony

FAQs on your CIP designation and attending convocation.

DESIGNATION When will I receive confirmation that I've completed the CIP program? You will be mailed a letter from the CEO of the Insurance Institute congratulating you on your achievement approximately six weeks from the date all grades have been released per semester. When can I begin using my designation?
