Welcome to the Lincoln Insurance Institute. The Lincoln Insurance Institute is the home of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and the Personal Finance Society (PFS) in Lincoln.

First of all, the obligatory thanks must be made to Jenni Wheatley for her service to the institute over the past 2 years. She has guided us through yet another tricky period in a post COVID world where 'in-person' events are less desirable and costs for any type of event are significantly increasing year on year. Jenni continues to be a vital member of the institute's council and we're very lucky to have her.

My vision for how the institute will look by the time my presential term comes to an end is that more of our members will be aware of, have had communication about and be engaging with the many events that are held in the area. I also envisage that other insurance professionals in the region, who are non-members, have had positive experiences or are aware of positive experiences either at an event hosted by our institute or perhaps via another professional. To put it simply, I hope that we are able to reach out and have a positive impact to more professionals than ever!

It's not enough to hope though. It is my duty, and that of the LII council members, to ensure that we are delivering quality relevant events, from a CPD, networking and a social perspective. It is also our duty to market effectively and raise awareness. I have no doubt that the team will work hard and try their best to meet this objective.
