Birmingham joins forces with PINWM

Birmingham Insurance Institute has joined the ranks of PINWM - the region's foremost association of professional institutes - to help spread its CPD message and raise awareness of its increasing offering across the West Midlands area.

PINWM - The Professional Institute Network for the West Midlands, is a web based portal which brings together some of the region's most influential professional institutes who all share the common purpose of:

• Promoting events to members and students of all bodies to facilitate their CPD requirements
• Creating networking opportunities across the professions
• Raising the profile of each of the member institutes to one another's members and students
• Enabling the engagement of key speakers for events by ensuring a worthwhile audience.

Each institute makes a number of its events available to members and students of other institutes, to provide over 50,000 members and students with a wide-range of locally available, low-cost CPD to meet what is now, for most professional bodies, a mandatory requirement.

Events can be booked by simply clicking through to the institute organising the event, providing a central gateway to a range of events being hosted locally.

Deputy President of Birmingham Insurance Institute, Richard Scott, has joined the main board of PINWM as representative of the Birmingham Insurance Institute (BII). He said:

"I'm delighted that BII is joining PINWM. They have recently refocused their strategy and have launched a new website to make local CPD networking accessible, wide-reaching and hassle-free.

PINWM offers a unique opportunity to work with like-minded institutes across the West Midlands, and will offer our members significant networking, social and personal development opportunities.

We are very much looking forward to playing an active role in PINWM’s continued development and future success."
