SOUTH PARIS — The newly organized Oxford Hills Chapter of the International Association of Insurance Professionals meet the first Thursday of the month from September through June, beginning at 5:15 p.m. at W J Wheeler Insurance in South Paris. Each month the chapter invites a speaker who presents information regarding professional updates, educational training or personal development strategies.

Although new to the Oxford Hills area, National Association of Insurance Women began in 1938 as a way for women involved in the industry to network for educational purposes. Through this organization, women all over the world have been able to establish strong industry alliances and enhance their professional development.

In 2011, the association adopted the trade name International Association of Insurance Professionals to better reflect the breadth and diversity of its membership.
