The Inter-Company Marketing Group (ICMG), the non-profit association that fosters business networking among insurance and financial services companies, has named Allen Bress, president of AIM Marketing & Insurance Services, Inc., of Scottsdale, AZ, as the recipient of the 2024 Don Kampe Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Don Kampe Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honor awarded by the ICMG. This award was established in 2001 to recognize ICMG members who have made significant, ongoing contributions of time and resources for the benefit of the organization. The award was named in honor of Don Kampe, who served on ICMG’s first board of directors, was president for two terms, and continued to be active in board and committee work for 24 years.
Mr. Bress’s entry into the insurance industry in 1968 marked the beginning of an innovative and impactful insurance career. He has founded three reputable companies, showcasing a deep commitment to providing invaluable insurance benefits to the public. Since joining ICMG in 1993, Mr. Bress has been a consistent and enthusiastic advocate for the organization, energetically encouraging others to participate as well.
Beyond ICMG, throughout Mr. Bress’s 50-plus years in the insurance business, he has been active in many other conferences and organizations. He has served on multiple boards, including the Mass Market Insurance Institute, PIMA, Voluntary Benefits Association, and the NAILBA Charitable Foundation. His induction into the Workplace Marketing Association’s Hall of Fame and a founding role in the California Association of Health Underwriters speak to his influential presence and visionary contributions.
This year’s Don Kampe Lifetime Achievement Award was presented by ICMG’s Executive Director, Larry Sigle, who said about Mr. Bress, “It’s evident that his unwavering dedication, visionary leadership, and profound industry impact make him a deserving recipient.”
