"Product Advisory" identifies all AAIS bulletins issued last week and includes other information of interest to property/casualty insurers. Link here for Product Advisory from previous weeks: http://www.aaisonline.com/services/pastpa.html

NEXT WEB SEMINAR ON INLAND MARINE RATING WORKSHEETS
AAIS will present a Web seminar at 10 a.m. Central (11 a.m. Eastern) on Wed., Oct. 22 to describe new automated worksheets for rating nonfiled inland marine classes, available through AAISdirect.
To learn more and to register, go to http://www.aaisonline.com/services/webinar.html

To access a recording of the Sep. 30 Web seminar on the forthcoming revision of the AAIS Businessowners Program, contact Debra Petges, marketing coordinator, at debp@AAISonline.com.

CHANGES IN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
From today on, the "AAIS Product Advisory" e-mail will be issued on Mondays. It will continue to list all bulletins issued the previous week and go to AAIS affiliates and non-affiliates who request it.

On Friday, AAIS affiliates who receive bulletin mailings should have received a new "AAIS Bulletin Notice." This e-mail indicated what bulletins were issued last week that recipients are entitled to access electronically, either through AAISdirect or through new "electronic file cabinets."

AAIS bulletin recipients were notified of a bulletin issued Friday explaining electronic distribution of bulletins. If you currently receive bulletins in the mail and did not receive this, or cannot access it, contact Pat Peters, member services coordinator, at patp@AAISonline.com.

For more information on AAIS's new electronic bulletin distribution, go to http://www.aaisonline.com/services/electronicbulletins.html

PAPER BULLETIN RECIPIENTS: RETURN CONTACT FORM
Persons who are addressees for AAIS paper bulletin mailings need to return the response form they received with a Sep. 5 letter. (The form was only sent to current bulletin recipients.)

To ensure that affiliates receive bulletins properly, AAIS needs to confirm or correct our contact information. If there is no change to the information on your form, please check the box indicating so. If the information is inaccurate or out of date, please print the correct information clearly. Then fax the form to 630/681-8356 or mail it in the business reply envelope provided.

If you receive AAIS bulletins but do not have the response form that was mailed to you, contact Pat Peters, membership services coordinator, at patp@AAISonline.com or by calling 800/564-AAIS, x289.
