MADISON – The Professional Insurance Agents of Wisconsin (PIA) - a trade association representing thousands of independent agents from across the state – is pleased to announce the recipients of their 2024 Legislative Excellence Award: Sen. Rob Stafsholt (R – New Richmond) and Rep. Alex Dallman (R – Green Lake).

The Professional Insurance Agents of Wisconsin’s Legislative Excellence Award is given annually to a member of each legislative house who demonstrates support for PIA priority issues and leads efforts to keep Wisconsin a flourishing place for independent agents to do business.

In the 2023-2024 session, Stafsholt co-authored 2023 Wisconsin Act 60, the personal financial literacy bill. In addition, he authored 2023 Senate Bill 386, that would have clarified the insurance handling of peer-to-peer car sharing transactions. Though this legislation was vetoed, PIA continues to urge for its passage and thanks Stafsholt for his continued efforts to create certainty for all parties during car sharing transactions.

“Sen. Stafsholt and Rep. Dallman have each demonstrated a clear commitment to supporting independent insurance agents and strengthening Wisconsin’s insurance landscape,” said Jon Strom, PIA President. “Their leadership on key issues—like financial literacy education and clarity in insurance policy—makes a real difference for our industry and the communities we serve. We are proud to honor them with PIA’s 2024 Legislative Excellence Award.”

The Professional Insurance Agents of Wisconsin is a trade association representing thousands of independent agents. They provide professional education, advocacy, and other services throughout the state.
