In April we asked four questions about ReB. A good sample size of 40 people responded with 92% identifying themselves as regular ReB readers. The comments are mixed however the take home message is clear – industry news and educational articles are most important to you. I will commit to act on your feedback and hope to see 100+ respondents for the 2017 survey scheduled for May. Thank you to those who completed the survey.

Dislikes/Suggest Changes…
- a bit long
- the Postcard series was also interesting and enjoyable — although a lot of work for the person that writes it. It can be a bit lengthy and daunting when you start reading — thus run out of time to finish it.
- I would prefer a glossy quarterly magazine to be delivered to my address similar to the ANZIIF magazine
- it would be good to have 1 – 2 pages with photos/links to click on to read the full article if interested – may just grab attention a bit better
- the new century REB needs its own webpage if going to be taken seriously as an industry publication especially for next gen
- although I don’t like the ads I realise they help reduce the costs, aware this would increase membership costs as opposed to just an electronic copy.
- I wouldn’t say dedicated reader. I scan it for interesting articles.
board and sub-group updates - more in-depth Underwriting articles
- only those articles that are published say from overseas that contain no local
- content/comment which make them handy to know but not really useful in practice.
- I would like to see links to ReB on our website, Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn
- I would like to see individual Underwriter/claims movement/transfers to other companies.
too lengthy. Should be more concise - miss the people moves updates.
- ReB should not repeat articles from elsewhere. If the articles are interesting/important just include a link
