IIABSC and the entire CIC community said farewell to two of the most beloved and iconic members of the CIC National Faculty in late September at a special event in Myrtle Beach, SC. Jim Harrison, JD, CIC, CPCU,CLU, ChFC and Jerry Milton, CIC will be retiring at the end of the year.

Jim and Jerry were honored with a dinner followed by several presentations including an IIABSC Chairman’s Citation for both in recognition of their outstanding dedication and service to IIABSC and its members, and their unparalleled commitment to delivering superior insurance education. Many of Jim and Jerry’s fellow faculty members came from all across the country to attend this event in their honor.

Jim is one of the founders of the CIC program and was part of the inaugural CIC Institute which was conducted in Austin, TX at the Sheraton Crest Hotel in September of 1969. He was the first CIC Education Consultant for the state of Florida beginning in October 1974.

Jerry began his career as a CIC National Faculty member in 1981. Jerry has been a CIC Education Consultant for the PA, MD and DE Independent Insurance Agents Associations since the early 1990s, sharing that huge responsibility with Jim.

Together Jim and Jerry have conducted thousands of CIC Institutes, James K. Ruble seminars, Convention and specialty CE programs in virtually every state in the nation. Jim and Jerry always put the needs of the CIC participants first, and they will be greatly missed by IIABSC and the entire South Carolina CIC community.

Thank you, Jim & Jerry, for your years of dedicated service to the insurance industry and the CIC program. All of us who ever attended one of your presentations are better at what we do because of YOU.
