2015 Kansas insurance awards
Give credit where
credit is due
nalyzing risks, getting quotes, helping
out in the community, talking clients
through the claims process, working
with carriers to resolve client concerns,
serving in a volunteer role with KAIA, contributing
to local fundraising projects ... It’s all in a day’s
work for independent agents throughout the state.
But, wouldn’t it be nice to get – or give – a little
credit to all those in our industry who go above
and beyond?
A
The Kansas Insurance Awards are designed to do
just that. The annual awards – sponsored by KAIA
– provide an opportunity to recognize someone
in your agency who goes out of their way to serve
their clients ... or a company representative
who stands out in their efforts to promote the
independent channel ... or a leader in the industry
whose career should be applauded for their
professionalism and lifetime achievements.
“Independent agents work hard every day,
without seeking credit other than the satisfaction
of serving their clients and their communities,”
said Kerri Spielman, executive director of KAIA.
“These awards are a chance for our members
to brag a little bit about the employees in their
shop who exemplify what it means to be an
independent agent.”
The awards include: Agent of the Year,
Outstanding Young Agent, Distinguished Service
Award, and Company Representative of the Year.
Members are invited to nominate independent
agents and company representatives for one or
more of these industry awards. Members may
self-nominate and nominations can be submitted
anonymously.

Rep. Mark Hutton (R-Wichita) received KAIA’s Advocate of the Year award in 2014.
Each year, KAIA honors those who have gone above and beyond in their communities,
within their agencies and on behalf of the industry with the Kansas Insurance Awards.
Hutton was recognized for his work in the Legislature to increase transparency in
workers compensation insurance and protect small business owners.
