Francis Mankos, personal lines insurance agent of Slatington, recently was awarded the designation of Certified Professional Insurance Agent, a professional designation conferred by the American Insurance Marketing and Sales Society.

Mankos successfully completed three Insurance Success Seminars. The designation identifies professionalism, commitment to sales training and results and technical knowledge. The designation does require a biannual continuing education update.

The Insurance Success Seminars have been rated highly by both insurance agency sales support staff who have taken them and by participating company representatives. The interactive one-day format and nominal cost to attend each module has made these seminars particularly useful and popular.
