Fifteen IA&B member agencies and two aspiring producers received insurance education scholarships. They are spring 2020 recipients of the Insurance Agents & Brokers (IA&B) education scholarship program.

Legislatively mandated insurance coverage for lost business income related to COVID-19 – when it is clearly excluded from insurance policy language – is not the answer to the financial crisis gripping the commonwealth.

Eight insurance agencies, two producers, and two aspiring producers this winter will benefit from the Insurance Agents & Brokers (IA&B) education scholarship program. IA&B will distribute $5,836 in scholarship funds to advance their careers.
