As with many of these certifications, this session will be sponsored by the University of Southern Mississippi, who will reward 4 continuing education units for this program.

“For some time, we’ve wanted to make this combination,” said Jack Phillips, Chairman of the ROI Institute. “We’ve heard so much about the Iowa State Fair, and Patti and I’ve always planned to attend. Now’s our chance.”

Patti Phillips added, “While ROI Certification is a busy week with homework assignments (yes, homework), there should be plenty of time to take advantage of many of the activities and events at the Iowa State Fair. We’re excited about it and look forward to seeing you there.”

This certification will be hosted by Nationwide Insurance and will take place at the Emmett J. Vaughan Training Center, 1100 Locust St, Des Moines, IA 50391.
