Lee to profile growth explosion at Tower

DALLAS, TX, July 27, 2011 – Michael Lee, President and CEO of Tower Group Companies, will deliver a keynote presentation at the MarketScout 2011 Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium, outlining the new business mix of Tower and how he plans to lead the firm by implementing innovative concepts which will identify profitable business over looked by other insurers.

MarketScout has partnered with The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research for the fifth annual symposium. As a result, certified insurance counselor (CIC) and certified risk manager (CRM) attendees can secure hours necessary to meet the update provisions required to maintain designations.

Symposium registrants will also vote on the ultimate winners of the 2011 Entrepreneurial Awards. The 12 finalists will profile their innovations at the symposium via a shark tank-type presentation to the registrants and judges’ panel. A winner for each category of underwriting, distribution and technology will be named during the symposium. Candidates with an innovative idea may apply until August 15, 2011 at www.einsurancesymposium.com.
