The Life Insurance Institute of Canada (LIIC): A LOMA Institute and LOMA, the leading international association for the insurance and financial services industry, announced today at the LIIC annual meeting that all operations and activities of the LIIC will proceed from this day forward under the name LOMA Canada.

\u201cSince the LIIC merged with LOMA in January of 2002, we have diligently increased services and educational activities to financial services organizations throughout Canada,\u201d said Debbie Cole-Gauer, executive director of the LIIC. \u201cBy unifying the organizations under the LOMA name, we are reinforcing that LOMA\u2019s 80-plus years of resources and breadth of knowledge are available to help all Canadian financial services organizations improve company management and operations.\u201d

LOMA assists members around the world to develop job competencies, select the right employees, design appropriate education and training requirements, fulfill needs for employee learning and development, assess employee performance, and structure total rewards. Several Canadian companies were among LOMA\u2019s founding members in 1924 and the LIIC merged its professional education program into LOMA\u2019s Fellow, Life Management Institute (FLMI) program in 1952.

\u201cLOMA has worked closely with the Canadian industry to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for learning and development designed to meet the unique needs of the Canadian marketplace,\u201d said Thomas Donaldson, president and CEO of LOMA. \u201cLOMA Canada will continue to offer the traditional LIIC suite of products and we will explore additional products, services and opportunities to best meet the needs of the Canadian marketplace.\u201d

Established in 1924, with 1,200 plus member companies in over 80 countries, LOMA is committed to a business partnership with its world-wide members in the insurance and financial services industry to improve their management and operations through quality employee development, research, information sharing, and related products and services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
