The PIA National Excellence in Social Media Award honors a PIA member agency that uses non-traditional communication tools to effectively further the goals of the organization. An agency may use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, blogs and other social media outlets to creatively promote programs, build upon an existing brand, and introduce products and services to an expandable customer base.

Nominations for this award are made by individual PIA members as well as PIA state and regional affiliates. The 11^th annual Excellence in Social Media Award is sponsored by the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).

The PIA National Managing General Agency of the Year Award is given annually to recognize the outstanding achievement of a managing general agency in furthering the interests of agents, along with a commitment to the agency system and successful efforts to create a better business environment for professional insurance agents.
