SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: An Alternative to State Unemployment Insurance with Thornburg Insurance and First Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Almost all employers are required to pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI). For-profit employers have only one option and that is to participate in the State Unemployment Fund where premiums are collected via the State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) as a risk pool. That means if your organization does not have high unemployment claims\, you may be subsidizing other organizations including for-profit employers that do have high claims. With the West Virginia economy\, the state budget deficit and unemployment claims expected to rise\, we strongly suggest you join us for this webinar and evaluate if Thornburg Insurance Agency and First Nonprofit can bring you a better solution to the State Unemployment Tax. \nAbout the Presenters: \n\nJoe Stanton serves as the Vice President of Thornburg Insurance Agency. Joe holds a bachelor of science degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a certificate in Business Management Foundations from Marshall University. He is married to Shonda Stanton\, Head Softball Coach at Marshall University and they have been blessed with three amazing children. \nMarshall Whittey is a graduate of University of Nevada\, earning a B.S. with a concentration in Elementary Education. In his role\, Marshall works directly with First Nonprofit’s program partners\, insurance brokers\, members\, and prospective members around the country. Prior to joining First Nonprofit in 2010\, he had a background in sales\, sales management\, and project management. Marshall also maintains Property & Casualty insurance licenses and utilizes his experience in the insurance industry to introduce the value of risk transfer alternatives. He travels extensively\, educating our insurance agent & broker network\, presenting seminars\, and meeting with individual employers and their representatives about the options available in managing their unemployment insurance obligations. \n\n\n\n\n\n
