and Support for a Third Time

April 24, 2025

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Institutes Knowledge Group has once again been recognized for doing what they do best: educating and elevating the skillsets of those in the risk management and insurance disciplines. At the 2025 Society of Insurance Trainers and Educators (SITE) Conference, The Institutes Knowledge Group was presented with the prestigious SITE Corporate Award, which recognizes one organization that has shown unmatched dedication, leadership and generosity toward advancing training and education in insurance.

This marks the third time The Institutes Knowledge Group has received this honor since the award's inception in 1992. In that time, the organization developed a strong partnership with SITE based on their shared goals of helping RMI professionals develop the skills and expertise needed to create a more resilient world. This includes providing multiple members to sit on SITE’s board, including Diane Hanlon, Head of Sales and Market Development, and Eric Czerwin, Regional Sales Account Executive. Notably, The Institutes Knowledge Group helped SITE establish their Mentor program by facilitating its creation and providing management of the program, which empowers seasoned professionals to mentor new trainers in risk management and insurance.

“This award is deeply meaningful because it reflects the relationships and common goals we’ve built with SITE over many years,” said Adam Carmichael, CPCU, president of The Institutes Knowledge Group. “We’re honored to stand alongside an organization that’s as committed as we are to championing professional development in insurance.”

The Institutes Knowledge Group is dedicated to empowering those in risk management and insurance to help others in need through professional development. By supporting individuals with their educational journey, assisting companies in developing effective learning and development programs, or building lasting partnerships with organizations like SITE, their commitment is clear.

"The SITE Corporate Award is presented to member firms that demonstrate outstanding support for our organization and its members,” said Michael Koscielny, president of the Society of Insurance Trainers & Educators. “The Institutes have consistently exemplified this commitment: providing four team members to serve on our board, sponsoring speakers through generous financial support, and—most importantly—co-authoring our Train the Trainer program, the cornerstone of SITE's foundational training."

As the risk management and insurance landscape continues to evolve, there is an ever-growing need for comprehensive training and education. That's why The Institutes will continue to support learning and development goals for those interested in RMI with their practical Institutes Designations, online courses, leadership education programs, and more now and into the future.
