This year’s NASBP Summer Session of the William J. Angell Surety School took place July 31-August 5 in Phoenix, AZ; and, once again, the Summer Session hosted NASBP’s Commercial Surety School! Throughout the week, experienced surety professionals guided 120 students from across the U.S. and Germany through a rigorous and engaging educational program.

In addition to providing an immense amount of educational content, the school also fosters strong bonds between students and faculty. At the close of this 3-to-5-day educational experience, students are asked to select among their classmates the Most Outstanding Pupil (MOP) who will be given the moment (a football or hard hat) signed by all the students and faculty in their class.

Receiving the coveted football in Level I was Norman Pfaadt of Thomas-Fenner-Woods Agency in Columbus, OH. Since Norman was not able to be at Graduation, his classmates accepted the football for him.

Level II students selected Dan Cusenza of Acrisure LLC dba The Campbell Group in Kentwood, MI.

Level III students selected Libby Tieman of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions in Chicago, IL, to receive the signed hard hat.

The Commercial Surety School class also took part in this tradition and selected Aundra Hicks of The Hanover Insurance Company in Nashville, TN.

Congratulations to all these outstanding students!

NASBP would also like to thank the outstanding team of NASBP Members and Affiliates who served as faculty and auditors for this summer’s Surety School, dedicating their time and expertise once again to give back to the industry by elevating and inspiring the next generation of bond producers and underwriters and the surety industry as a whole.
