INSURANCE BARTENDER
CONNECT, COLLABORATE, ENGAGE Henry Ford famously said, “Coming Together is a beginning, Staying together is progress, and Working together is success.” You have likely seen this quote a lot from the IIAW as it perfectly illustrates the type of community the IIAW is working to build among its members and stakeholders. An ecosystem of insurance professionals and solutions to help drive the industry to new heights. Historically, the IIAW has brought together its members in the form of meetings, events, and conventions/conferences. In the COVID-19 environment that exists now, in-person gatherings can be difficult and risky, but the need to connect, collaborate and engage with other individuals has never been greater.

That is why, later this fall, the IIAW will be launching a new online “curated” community with an app where members can seek out and engage with other members/stakeholders within the association or with association staff/experts. Post questions, topics, and articles for feedback from other agency staff, insurance company employees, vendors, or staff. Search past posts or blogs to obtain valuable information quickly and easily. This platform seeks to bring insurance professionals together in a virtual curated format to provide a more cohesive, comprehensive, and responsive community environment to meet the evolving needs of our Association’s members, sponsors and stakeholders. Data shows an overwhelming percentage of members only sign-in to renew their dues and register for an event. The Online Community integrates with IIAW’s association management system and website to provide simple and quick access to community features such as blogs, forums, groups, member directories and more.
