Bonnie Ottino Education Scholarship Award
Bonnie worked for IIABC, the precursor of IBA West, for 30+ years, serving as Executive Director until her retirement
in 1984. She then filled that same position for the IIAACCC until 1994. During her long and varied insurance career, Bonnie
was a staunch advocate of professional women in the insurance industry. She led by example, providing a model of hard work
and the highest standards of professionalism. Bonnie passed away in 1995. The Independent Insurance Agents Association of
Contra Costa County (IIAACCC) established this scholarship award in an effort to perpetuate her memory.
The Bonnie Ottino Education Memorial Award was established with several objectives
in mind:
1) To assist insurance professionals in reaching a higher level of performance through professional
education.
2) To assist agencies with the sometimes unaffordable professional development costs and thereby
contributing to their ability to provide continuing education to employees.
3) To enhance the knowledge of agency
employees so that they, in turn, will contribute to their
association and the insurance profession as a whole.
Recipient of the award is given up to $500 reimbursement for successful completion of the course.
