From the Executive's Desk
When you think about PIA, what comes to mind? For some it’s service and responsiveness. For others it’s competitive E&O products. For many, it’s quality education.
PIA takes a lot of pride in our educational offerings that we make available to all agents. From pre-licensing to obtaining your required CE credits to achieving a prestigious designation, PIA is here to guide you on your educational journey.
We have seen a steady rise in attendance in our classes over the past 3 years since we introduced webinars and hybrid classes. We were one of the first state affiliates to embrace the technology.

Happy Holidays!
