Insurance Education Institute (IEI)

Since it is important for the Foundation to provide up-to-date and current insurance information to teachers and their students, we have developed a NEW educational kit for teachers' use. This new teaching tool is called Risk, Responsibility, Reality and it's currently available for distribution. More...

An emerging program is the sponsorship of a high school teacher to attend one of the two-week institutes held at five universities. Sixteen organizations and/or companies have stepped forward to recognize a deserving teacher with a partial or full-scholarship. More...
