45 Companies ExpectedAt Insurance ConventionAssociation To HoldSessions In NCMNew Building

The new optimism among

Negro-owned life insurancecompanies is reflected in thetheme of the National Insur-ance Association's 46th AnnualConvention, scheduled for Dur-ham, July 18-21.

Designs for Success Plan-ning, Product, Service, is theword framework against which350 executives and sales lead-ers of 45 companies will sharetheir ideas and expeikenccs, inthe four-day meeting.

The theme represents a rightangle turn from the mood of

a decade ago, when the Negro

firms were concerned withquestions of survival. The moodof uncertainty had beenbrought on by literally hun-dreds of new company forma-tions by whites, and a new gen

eral policy by major whitecompanies, of accepting Negro

risks.

Businessman, has been elected

to serve a second term as presi-

dent of the National BusinessLeague. The sixty-six year oldorganization was founded by

Booker T. Washington with thehope that through unity Ne-groes could become an integral

part of the American Economy.

It continues in this tradition.The Nat'l Business League

with its sixty-six year history,

will continue to fight through

its local units all over Ameri-ca, for a deeper commitmenton the part of the administra-tion to lift Negro businessmenfrom their position of economicobscurity." "It's a natural forthe Small Business Administra-tion but only a few Negroes

can qualify who already havethe experience and who couldgrbw if given financial assist-ance. They currently have no

program to fit Negroes already

in business and this must bechanged.
