Vector One is the least expensive, most cost-effective agent screening and due diligence tool available to the insurance industry…period. Vector One’s Debit-Check.Com contains a data base of approximately 30,000 agents that owe a commission-related debit balance to a Vector One member company. Vector One's Debit-Check.Com provides powerful information to managers and executives that are accountable for the bottom line impact of agent performance. If you have ever wondered how much new premium revenue you have to generate to offset debit balance loss, or if you are about to expand the size of your agent force, Vector One is a great opportunity for your company. It is not often that something this inexpensive can potentially save your company thousands of dollars. Vector One provides specific information addressing a very costly problem, tailored for your specific industry…several NFCA companies are already successfully using Vector One!

Vector One’s founder and CEO, Rick Dugger, started Vector One in 1989, after a successful career with three Fortune 500 companies, to help companies manage relationships with agents who have histories of "company jumping," leaving debit balances in their wake. Vector One's Debit-Check.Com is the only central reporting vehicle that addresses this very important information and makes it available to the insurance industry. Vector One is truly “due-diligence insurance for the insurance industry. The information in Vector One’s database is not available anywhere else.

Edwin J. Pittock, CSA (sponsor)
Founder
Society of Certified Seniors Advisors

When Ed Pittock founded the Society of Certified Senior Advisors in 1996, he sensed he was filling a sizable need among America’s seniors and the myriad professionals that serve this fast-growing population. Little did he realize back then just how huge that need was.

It was only logical; Ed reasoned back then, that the many professionals who catered to the over-55 population would benefit from a cohesive and comprehensive training program that dealt with the issues foremost in the minds of America’s seniors.

Issues regarding mental and physical well being, financial solvency, residency options, plus the many spiritual, legal and moral questions that runs through peoples’ minds as they begin to age.
To create the kind of training he had in mind, Ed turned to experts in geriatric medicine, gerontology, elder law, financial planning, accounting and spiritual guidance among others.
The result: the renowned Certified Senior Advisor course that has become the gold standard in training professionals who serve the senior population.

Now, less than a decade since its inception, the Society of Certified Senior Advisors has become the world's largest premier organization of its kind. More than 23,000 individuals have enrolled in the exclusive CSA training, and countless seniors have benefited from the sensitive and informed advice they’ve received from those who earned the coveted CSA designation.

Today, Ed Pittock is an in-demand speaker who is highly regarded for his keen insights into the social, economic and health patterns concerning older adults. His enthusiasm for ethics and for meeting the needs of the senior market is a breath of fresh air in today’s business climate — an enthusiasm that is nothing short of contagious.

Ed has addressed over 50,000 professionals and thousands of seniors on priority senior issues. He was named Speaker of the Year by the National Society of Accountants and was a delegate to the White House Conference on Aging in December 2005. He has published articles in many senior magazines and professional journals and wrote the booklet Ageless Wisdom for Ageless Living, which sold 200,000 copies in five months.

Ed is a member of the National Council on Aging, the American Society on Aging, the Gerontological Society of America, Business Forum on Aging, and Colorado Gerontological Society.
