“PIMA uniquely serves my needs as CEO of WAEPA on three fronts. First, it provides unparalleled peer-to-peer interaction with other leaders of those in the affinity space. Second, it provides me direct access to providers that focus on niche business. And third, the research done directly relates to our specific industry. No other association provides this in-depth multi-faceted experience for our specialty business.”

M. Shane Canfield, Chief Executive Officer
WAEPA

“I’m really excited about the value PIMA brings to its members about understanding what the future brings. Our world is changing so fast. How people form groups is changing, and it’s critical for our businesses to really understand how we can leverage that and leverage the technology to make our business as successful as possible.”

Kara Shipulski, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships
Liberty Mutual Insurance

“The two to three most important things and ways that we’ve grown our business through PIMA is that we have a unique opportunity as a business partner. We’ve been fortunate enough to get a number of clients through PIMA. We’ve helped them grow their businesses and achieve their marketing goals, but it’s also helped us grow our business and achieve our business growth goals. We’ve also had this really unique opportunity to partner with other business partners and provide services to our clients that perhaps we don’t provide directly to them. None of this would be possible without the PIMA community.”

Angela Daisy, Chief Executive Officer
Mako Direct Marketing

“Connecting with top affinity market leaders and decision makers through PIMA has enabled us to keep abreast of industry trends, expand our reach to new clientele and business partnerships, and grow our organization.”

Elizabeth Johnson, MBC®, Second Vice President
Affinity Solutions, Securian Financial Group, Inc.

“Each conference I bring a group of employees from the company with me. I see it as a development opportunity for them to learn more about the industry and continue to build their leadership expertise.”

Scott Berlin, Senior Vice President

“I spend a lot of time speaking at and attending conferences. Without a doubt, PIMA has the highest concentration of decision makers—and opportunities to get deals done—than any other.”

Sam Fleet, President & Chief Executive Officer
Amwins Group Benefits

“I believe one of my key responsibilities as a CEO is to support the development of our team. One way I accomplish that is by including rising talent in PIMA and bringing them with me to conferences. We get 1:1 time together and they get direct exposure to what's happening in the industry.”

Chris Burke, Chief Executive Officer
AGIA Affinity

“Over the years, I’ve attended PIMA conferences representing all three segments of the membership. As the sponsored benefits market continues to change, PIMA brings the decision-makers together to discuss the critical issues impacting our space. I have always been impressed by the opportunity to network with great people who are always willing to share ideas.”

Dave Armstrong, President
Saas Advisors

“Advancements in technology, changing consumer demands and an evolving legal and regulatory landscape mean professionals in the affinity market need to be extremely agile. I value PIMA because it’s the premier association to connect with executives in the affinity space, while keeping up with industry news and best practices.”

Kelly A. Abeles, Vice President, Strategy, Underwriting & Account Management Association & Affinity Services, Group Insurance
