Along with our many local projects, it is a tangible initiative that carries on our commitment to the broker distribution system and fully supports the significant contribution brokers provide by the advice, choice and coverage they offer their clients,� he added.
IBAC Chief Executive Officer Dan Danyluk added: �We are pleased that yet another insurer supports the common message being delivered by brokers under the BIPPER umbrella. Optimum is a valuable partner to brokers.�
The Broker Identity Program was launched in 1989 by the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada. It is a branding campaign for over 30,000 insurance brokers and in 2007 was supported by more than 20 leading insurance companies.
