THINGS WE THINK
YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT THE IIAV
“We asked some of the staff here at IIAV what they think the more
underutilized resources that our association offers are, things you might not
know but we think you absolutely should. Here is what they had to say!
“While there is so very much that IIAV does to help
our members, one item to remember is that IIAV and
our staff are a resource or extension of the agency for
research and assistance. If you are working on an issue
or have a problem associated with the agency and
need some help … Call IIAV! Our staff knows who and
where to call to get answers to your question.”
— Bob Bradshaw,
President & CEO
“Agents are always looking for ways to maximize their
marketing budget. As an IIAV member you have access
to Trustedchoice.org which allows you to enhance your
branding and name recognition by utilizing the Trusted
Choice logo. It also offers the opportunity for co-op
advertising funds.”
— Don Bragg,
Director of Membership/Marketing
“Having been here for such a short time this is a
tough question. Having said that, many agencies
may not know that as members they have access to
risk management tools that can help reduce and even
eliminate exposures in their agency. They can visit
our website to find technical bulletins on an array of
subjects, or even access “ask an expert.” You can find
these under the ‘resources’ link on our website.”
— Lisa Harmon,
COO
“Do you have a topic you want your agents to know
more about? IIAV can develop a class just for your
needs. We love to provide in-house learning for our
members. We are here to help with all your learning
needs, including on-boarding, pre-licensing, sales
training, and continuing education. We provide many
choices and platforms to learn, including, in-person,
virtual and on-demand options. Please let us know
what your educational needs may be. We are here to
help you grow!”
— Debbi Little,
Director of Professional Development and Programs
