2017 KANSAS INSURANCE INDUSTRY AWARDS
Nominate your agency’s
shining stars this year
I
ndependent insurance
agents are often times a
jack of all trades – from
the office to home and in
their communities. KAIA’s annual
insurance industry awards are one way
to recognize and promote the valuable
role that independent agents fulfill
on the local and state level as small
business owners, employers, consumer
advocates, industry professionals, civic
leaders and community volunteers.
“Our members work every single
day to make our work places and
communities better,” said Dave
Hulcher, executive director of KAIA.
“That is why acknowledging them
through the Kansas Insurance Industry
Award is so important.”
The association recognizes four
shining stars, each year in the Kansas
independent insurance industry: an
Agent of the Year, an Outstanding
Young Agent, a Distinguished
Service member, and a Company
Representative of the Year. Members
are encouraged to nominate
independent agents and company
representatives for one or more of
these industry awards. Nomination
forms are brief and nominations may
be made anonymously.
The 2017 honorees will be recognized
Friday, Oct. 6, during KAIA’s
Leadership and Development
Conference at the Bluemont Hotel in
Manhattan, KS. Nominations will be
accepted until Monday, July 10.
For more information about the
industry awards or for assistance in
