History of the AIMS Society

Founded in 1968 as The Firemark Society (FMS), the American Insurance Marketing and Sales (AIMS) Society provides training, information and networking services designed to increase the personal and agency sales production of property and casualty insurance agents. AIMS was the first organization to honor property and casualty agents for sales excellence and to establish the industry’s only sales-based insurance designation – Certified Professional Insurance Agent (CPIA).

The AIMS Society is a member-driven, national organization. Membership is open to any individual engaged in sales and marketing in the property and casualty insurance business. Completion of CPIA designation requirements is not necessary to qualify for membership.
