DELAWARE MEMBER AGENTS MEET WITH STATE LAWMAKERS
Independent agents attended a late-April Insurance Industry Reception in Dover alongside more than a dozen lawmakers, as well as other insurance industry leaders. IA&B joined as a sponsor of the event, which aims to foster a closer working relationship between the insurance industry and lawmakers.
INSURANCE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
Apply for the next round of insurance education scholarships by Friday, Aug. 2.
IA&B will award two individuals with full designation scholarships – one for a CIC designation and another for a CISR designation. Plus, member agencies will receive scholarships to send an employee to a CIC course, CISR course, or CE webinar. Scholarships to attend licensing study courses are available throughout the year.
IA&B introduced the insurance education scholarship program in late 2018 to support the future of the independent agency system. The scholarship program aims to develop new talent and support existing agency staff through insurance education. Each year, IA&B awards about $10,000 in scholarships.
