Atlantic School
As usual, the school provided four hours of speakers each day (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), leaving plenty of time for recreation. Speaker topics included insurance and tax planning, collateral professionals, home-office support and motivational inspiration. The 2019 school had over 70 attendees from across Canada. It continues to be in great financial health and already has a full slate of speakers booked for 2020 and 2021. The school had surpassed our sponsorship goals in 2019 with strong industry support, and we feel confident in securing similar support this year. We are focused on opportunities to show value to these wonderful supporters. We had a transition at the committee level with a new chair and sponsorship chair in 2019 and feel strongly that our second year with this arrangement of positions - along with our strong long standing committee members will see a well-organized and managed event. Finally, we continue to look for ways to make the event a success from an organizational perspective, and plan on continuing to improve how we can deliver quality content to our delegates.

In 2019, it returned to PEI where it was located for more than 20 years. The original location for the school on PEI in 1998 was the Rodd Mill River Resort; the 2019 version of the school moved to the newly renovated Mill River Resort in western PEI.
