INROADS ON INDUSTRY RECRUITMENT
IA&B had a strong presence at this spring’s Pennsylvania Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference, which brought together 5,500 high school students and their advisors. IA&B Service Group Vice Chair Andrew Enders, Esq. presented a breakout workshop, where he discussed auto insurance and touted insurance careers. Additionally, IA&B staff set up a booth and had countless conversations with students about the independent agent career (and lifestyle!).
INSURANCE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
Apply for the next round of insurance education scholarships. 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.
