Correll Team Members Recognized at 63rd Annual Conference of the South Carolina Council of IAIP International Awards Banquet
At Correll Insurance Group, we believe in celebrating the achievements of our team members and supporting their commitment to professional growth and industry leadership. We are proud to share highlights from the recent Spartanburg Association of Insurance Professionals (SAIP) Annual Meeting, where several Correll team members were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the insurance industry.
SAIP is a local chapter of the International Association of Insurance Professionals (IAIP), which serves its members by providing professional education, an environment in which to build business alliances, and the opportunity to make connections with people of differing career paths, and levels of experience with the insurance industry.
The 63rd Annual Conference of the South Carolina Council of IAIP International was held September 5–6, 2025, in Spartanburg. Led by State Council Director Teri Newmark of Correll Insurance Group of Inman, it was an energizing two days filled with education, fellowship, CWC competition, and plenty of fun—with just enough business mixed in.
The conference kicked off with a welcome party at Fifth Third Park, where members cheered on the Hub City Spartanburgers, the city’s new minor league baseball team. The weekend concluded with Saturday’s Awards Banquet at the AC Hotel, an inspiring evening of recognition and celebration.
