All of us here at Alta Pro Insurance Services want to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.
Even in stressful times, there is much to be grateful for.
We are especially thankful for the opportunity to serve you. It is our privilege to partner with top insurance agents and brokers to provide professional liability coverage for lawyers and law firms in our service states. Our goal is to help keep our insureds safe and successful.
So here’s to a bountiful Thanksgiving Day and a blessed holiday season.
Want to make 2023 your healthiest and most prosperous year ever? Join us on Wednesday, December 7 at 12 noon CT for our Third Annual Lawyer Wellness CLE webinar. This year’s program, “You’re Not Broken: The Neuroscience of Lawyer Well-being,” will use evidence-based research to help boost your personal and professional well-being and enter the new year with renewed enthusiasm. The presenter is Colleen Byers, JD, a seasoned litigator, mediator, legal educator, certified yoga instructor, and 2020 North Carolina Lawyer of the Year. Colleen will show you how to work with neurobiology rather than against it, how to make “Emergency Landings” in stressful situations, and how to avoid “amygdala hijack.” This free, one-hour webinar will help you manage end-of-year holiday stress. And you’ll obtain 2022 CLE credit without leaving your desk! Register here.
