Of the organization's response to the continuing needs of risk and insurance professionals during the coronavirus pandemic, Janecka had this to say:

"The insurance industry consistently takes a leadership role in our community whenever there is a crisis. We would not be where we are today without the support of our colleagues, educational consultants, faculty, state associations, and state regulators. All of us have worked diligently to bring these classroom programs online."
