Annual Business Meeting Goes Virtual!
Big I Illinois held its second ever virtual State of the Association Update and Annual Business Meeting on September 9. Charles Symington, CEO of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA/Big I) updated members on the national tools and resources they can access. He reviewed the top federal government affairs issues for Big I: addressing legal system abuse, advocating on federal crop and flood insurance programs, supporting federal efforts to address market dysfunction from natural disasters, and maintaining favorable task policy. Thanks to Big I efforts, the 20% tax deduction for pass-through entities was made permanent and independent agencies are able to take full advantage of the provision.
Big I Illinois President Pat Taphorn shared a brief update on new programs and initiatives that the state association introduced over the past year to benefit members like you. Did you know that we’ve supported an insurtech? Started a women’s networking group? Launched a self-study CE book?
