Future Plans for Organisation

• NOTES
• In general, Provincial Growth and Development
  Strategies focus mainly on
• Mining, Tourism and Agriculture and do not
  recognize Insurance as one of the
• key skills to be focused on and developed. This
  is why the INSETA is pushing
• to make the public aware of the importance of
  Insurance and the funds
• available to get people qualified in this
  industry.
• CHALLENGES THE INSETA FACES RE INVOLVEMENT WITH
  PSDFs etc.
• Few invitations to PGDS
• If invitations come, INSETA is not on the agenda
  to address the forum
• Little national sectoral representation
