The National Association of Professional Allstate Agents (NAPAA) and the United Farmers Agents Association (UFAA) both held their annual conferences in Las Vegas, Nevada, last month. The Farmers Agents celebrated their fiftieth anniversary as an association.

Wright Beamer attorney, Dirk Beamer, spoke at both events. Beamer is a nationally recognized commentator on “captive” insurance agencies, and he provided an overview of trends, challenges and opportunities facing Allstate and Farmers Agency owners.
