Our Industry is Resilient

We are coming up on the 3rd anniversary of when the US shut down and went into shelter in place. I am not sure how you feel, but to me, that moment felt like it occurred ages ago. Yet there are events and industries that are finally getting back to what I can only refer to as prepandemic normal (if that will ever exist).

This is not the part where I focus on what we learned or recite the lessons that we can derive from the last three years. I can tell you my opinion but I will not pretend to act like I know what is going on in every agency and understand what each member has gone through.

What I do believe is evident is that our industry is resilient. We are blessed to have been able to adapt to the new work environments and new focus on work life balance.

As an industry, the Illinois insurance carriers and distribution channels responded appropriately because we have a competitive and robust insurance marketplace. This fact is why it is disappointing to see that legislation has appeared looking to regulate our industry. It simply doesn’t make sense. Illinois is a competitive market and has done a fantastic job of regulating itself. If you have not had a chance to read the IIA of IL’s February 8 press release, please do so. This is an incredible example of what your association does to protect our industry and advocate on your behalf.

However, it does not stop there, one of the events that we hope to bring back to pre-pandemic form is our State Legislative day. If you have never had the chance to attend, think about making the trip down state on March 28, 2023 to join us for an education seminar and then a legislative reception where you can interact with your elected officials and discuss some of the issues that may affect your business and the clients you serve.

My book of the month is another Patrick Lencioni New York Times Best Seller, The Truth About Employee Engagement, a Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery.

IIA of IL Member Ray Roentz Featured in Insurance Journal’s Agents of the Year Report

Insurance Journal’s Agents of the Year report features 25 agents who defined what it meant to be a successful independent agent in 2021. These agents are more than top sellers. While they have achieved impressive success in sales and demonstrated laudable business intelligence and entrepreneurial skills, they also have shown they have a passion for what they do and a commitment to professionalism and, in many cases, specialization. For them, being an insurance agent is more than a job.

Insurance Journal’s Agents of the Year come from all regions of the country, live and work in cities or towns big and small, and know the importance of giving back. Below is the portion of the article highlighting IIA of IL member, Ray Roentz:

Ray Roentz doesn’t dally. Since launching his insurance career in 2009, he has earned big awards, purchased the majority interest of his business and surrounded himself with a successful team. The biologist-turned-insurance professional isn’t in a lab, but he’s implementing a winning formula. Heneghan, White, Cutting & Rice Insurance Agency hired Roentz as a producer in 2012 - and he immediately began preparing to purchase the agency. Roentz earned the Illinois Young Agent of the Year award in 2017 and was named the state’s Independent Agent of the Year in 2022. HWCR was also named the state’s 2022 Agency of the Year. Small businesses cover approximately 80% of its commercial book; nearly 50% of that number were new start-ups when first added. Roentz values lifelong education. He also values continued growth. “I would never be so bold to consider myself as a ‘top agent’ because I owe a good deal of my success to many gracious agents who have taught me a lot over the last 10 years,” he said, “but if forced to make such a tag, I’d say that I should be considered as a top agent because no matter what level of success I achieve, I continue to improve every year, month and day in the service of my clients and this industry.”

IIA of IL National Director Participates in Selective Insurance’s 2023 College Competition

IIA of IL National Director, George Daly, participated in Selective Insurance’s 2023 College Competition, an annual program for aspiring insurance professionals.

Daly, The Horton Group’s President, Personal Lines and Tricia Pucek, The Horton Group’s CFO mentored the team from Katie School of Insurance and Risk Management at Illinois State University - College of Business.

Selective’s College Competition assembled eight teams from universities nationwide that obtain valuable insurance career-building experience and networking opportunities. Industry experts from Selective and independent insurance agencies mentor them. The Competition took place in February, during Insurance Careers Month, which celebrated and highlighted the fulfilling and diverse careers available in insurance. During the Competition, each team operated a simulated insurance agency. The students leveraged their education and experiences to make informed business decisions about building market share, developing products and services, growing profit, promoting their firm, and contending with competitors.

Congratulations to the Redbird Agency team for placing third in this robust competition!

Most businesses have exposures that can be protected by the most common commercial casualty coverages offered in the insurance marketplace. This institute focuses on providing a thorough understanding of these primary coverage areas. You will understand how to design the best coverage for your client. Topics being discussed:
