Your Agency’s Greatest AI Asset Isn’t AI. It’s Your Data.

The quality of your data determines the quality of your AI results.

This IIABA session covers what “good data” means, why structured data matters in a world of real-time decisions, and practical steps every agency can take today to prepare for AI-powered workflows.

Deer-vehicle collisions peak October through December. If you hit one, get somewhere safe and call it in. Don't assume the damage is minor just because the car still drives.

Comprehensive is the coverage that handles hitting an animal. Call your independent agent and confirm your coverage!

That orange triangle on the back of a machine means it is moving under 25 mph.

At 65 mph, you close 100 yards on a 15 mph vehicle in about 4 seconds.

Most harvest road crashes happen when a driver passes as the equipment slows to turn into a field approach, and the turn signal is often hidden behind the machine. Farm vehicles are frequently wider than one lane.

Stay back until you can see the whole road ahead. đźšś

🍦💙 Congratulations to our 2026 IIASD Serving Others Scholarship Grand Prize Winner, Cale Johnson! 💙🍦

Today, on Miracle Treat Day, we're especially excited to recognize Cale, whose winning essay beautifully captured the spirit of serving others.

Cale wrote about Delon Mork, owner of Dairy Queen of Madison SD, and the incredible impact he has made through his dedication to Miracle Treat Day and Sanford Children's Hospital. Inspired by his own family's experiences, Delon has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support children battling life-threatening illnesses, while reminding all of us that true leadership is about putting others first.

Cale's essay was a powerful reminder that even small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact, and that serving others can inspire entire communities.

Congratulations, Cale, on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for sharing such an inspiring story. And thank you to Delon Mork for being an example of what it truly means to serve others.

If you're looking for a way to make a difference today, stop by your local Dairy Queen and celebrate Miracle Treat Day—every Blizzard purchased helps support children's hospitals and the amazing kids and families they serve.
