IIABSC Education Department wins Excellence in Education
IIABSC was honored with its 14th consecutive IIABA Excellence in Education Diamond Award during the recent IIABA Education Convocation held last week in Nashville, Tennessee.
Known as the EIE Awards, they celebrate and recognize state associations who have made significant contributions to education for their members and the industry in the key areas of class offerings, continuing education, professionalism, designation offerings, industry collaboration, planning, marketing and resources. Diamond is the highest level of recognition, and those who earn the award for at least 10 consecutive years are known as the Diamond Elite.
"IIABSC concentrates our time and energy on high-quality education offerings rather than jumping on the bandwagon of fast, cheap and easy," said IIABSC President/CEO Becky McCormack. "Our programs make our members better at what they do, and therefore a better choice for their customers."

IIABSC Young Agents program honored for Political Involvement
IIABSC's Young Agents program was recognized for excellence in political involvement by our national association at the recent IIABA Young Agents Leadership Institute held in Nashville, Tennessee. The award was given in recognition of excellent achievement in introducing and increasing Young Agent participation in the association's state government affairs and grassroots activities.
Our Young Agents program was named Young Agent Committee of the Year in 2023 and has also been previously recognized for excellence in providing and promoting an annual Young Agents event during the pandemic as well as their efforts in community service and membership development.
