In addition to the our other programs, we also offer specialized
workshops to address specific needs within the insurance industry
and the business community as a whole. Often these programs can
also be customized by our industry experts to accommodate the needs
of corporate clients, and can be delivered either at a client's
location or in one of the Center's classrooms at 101
Murray Street, near the heart of the financial district
in Manhattan.
