LAS VEGAS – Organizers of Agent Summit announced that Bob Harkins, vice president of training for the American Guardian Group of Companies, will serve as 2022 Agent Summit Master of Ceremonies. Agent Summit will take place May 15–18 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Now in its 11th year, Agent Summit is designed to benefit agents and agencies of all sizes, levels of experience and catering to multiple specialties. The 2022 agenda is comprised of the general Agent Summit educational tract, the Participation & Reinsurance Symposium, breakouts targeting agencies of different levels, and a tract dedicated to New Business Opportunities.
“It is an honor to once again join the agent body to navigate the future possibilities and roadblocks in the world of F&I,” said Harkins. “With the multitude of factors influencing dealers, manufacturers and consumers alike, there has never been a more influential time to share successes and examine failures.”
Bob Harkins is a respected trainer in the F&I space, and his wealth of knowledge and experience make him the ideal candidate to collaborate with presenters and offer his knowledge to attendees. Harkins has worked with NADA’s Dealer Candidate Academy, manufacturers’ dealer development programs, and state dealer associations. Currently, he designs and presents finance and insurance, compliance, and ethics seminars and workshops for dealerships, dealer groups, administrators and general agents.
