The San Diego Association of Insurance Professionals marks their 88th birthday!

What does a Flapper, Scarecrow, Fortune Teller, Cheesehead, Choir Singer, Cowgirl and a Skeleton have in common? They were all in attendance at our 88th Birthday and Past Presidents Celebration. 

SDAIP proudly celebrated on October 29, 2024, with six of our past presidents, officers, members and guests. We were honored to have our CA Council Director, Jody Nishida with us for the evening. 

Past President Pam Legge arranged for a new flag to have at our meetings.  The flag was flown over the US Capital in October to honor our birthday month. 

Each past president was asked a series of questions such as, What was the best benefit of being President, What do you like the most about our association, Why do you continue your membership, What would you change moving forward?

Thank you to the event chairs, Christina Hernandez and Trinity Tuttle for organizing such a fun way to celebrate our history.  We look forward to next October when we celebrate our 89th birthday.  

For 88 years we have remained active and committed to the local insurance industry, our members, IAIP and our community. 

We have come a long way since 1936 from the San Diego Insurance Gals to the San Diego Insurance Women to the San Diego Association of Insurance Professionals.  Cheers to SDAIP!
