President’s Address Post AGM Press Briefing, June 2, 2021
By
Dr. Adrian Stokes, IAJ President
Good Morning everyone on behalf of the Executive of the Insurance
Association of Jamaica (IAJ), I want to thank you all for coming.
There is an old adage that says people do not plan to fail they simply fail to
plan. It is the same with financial planning, however many persons fail to
understand that the best financial plan will collapse if it does not
incorporate insurance planning. If the breadwinner passes away
unexpectedly or the house burns down without insurance it would result in
a significant financial setback for the family. This kind of contingency
planning and risk management is essential, and if we were not convinced
of its importance, then the COVID-19 pandemic was a reality check for all
of us, right across the globe. This was indeed a stress test if there ever was
one
