Because once you get immersed in this field, you rarely leave it.<\/p>\n<p>You may change roles, companies or agencies, but you remain dedicated to this product and the need for long-term care protection.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why attending the annual ILTCI Conference, an event for the long-term care planning community, is so special.<\/p>\n<p>More than 950 attendees traveled to San Diego earlier this month to learn and network.<\/p>\n<p>For many of us veterans, this conference means reconnecting with countless colleagues we\u2019ve known for decades. And let\u2019s not forget the company-hosted evening events, where networking and socializing continued.<\/p>\n<p>The 58 break-out workshops were divided into seven tracks: Actuarial and Finance; Advisors, Agents and Agencies; Claims and Underwriting; Legal, Compliance and Regulatory; Management and Operations; Marketing, Engagement and Research; and Wellness and Aging in Place Solutions.<\/p>\n<p>After the official welcome, Karen Smyth, the conference chair, announced the winners of the ILTCI Recognition Award: Ron Hagelman, president of Ice Floe Consulting, who is well- known as the Broker World long-term care columnist: Peter Goldstein, president and CEO of Illumifin, the company many carriers use to handle underwriting, claim payments and other product administration tasks; and LTCI Partners, a national LTCI brokerage firm. Tom Rieske, managing director of LTCI Partners, accepted the award on behalf of the firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know One in three seniors die with dementia.
