​IIABSC would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to one of our most popular and well-loved CE instructors, Mr. Mike DiMaina, CPCU, CIC, who retired at the end of 2018 after more than 17 years of teaching for IIABSC.

Mike has instructed hundreds of seminars for IIABSC including the Certified Insurance Services Representative (CISR) courses, Errors & Omissions courses and Associate in Insurance & Account Management (AIAM) courses.

“Mike was one of our best instructors and was always willing to help out whenever I needed him.," said IIABSC Vice-President, Becky McCormack, CPCU, CIC, AAI, AINS. “Mike was one of our best instructors and was always willing to help out whenever I needed him. The participants LOVED him and I know he will be greatly missed in the classroom.”  

Mike was awarded with a Chairman’s Citation from IIABSC recently at the local association Christmas luncheon in Myrtle Beach. The citation was presented “In grateful recognition of outstanding dedication and service to IIABSC and its members, and your unparalleled commitment to delivering superior insurance education.” Past IIABSC Chairman of the Board, John T. “Tommy” Cook and Becky McCormack were in attendance to make the presentation.

Mike retired from his “day job” of Assistant Vice President for Hub International Southeast Limited in Myrtle Beach in June 2012. Mike has served actively with the Independent Insurance Agents of New York and South Carolina and was a co-founder and past President of Independent Agents and Brokers of Horry Georgetown County.​

DiMaina was awarded a Chairman's Citation in gratitude and celebration of his retirement at the IIAB of Horry Georgetown Counties end-of-year luncheon.
