CELINA — Zachary Lyons, associate commercial lines services specialist at Celina Insurance Group, recently earned the Associate in Insurance Services (AIS) designation.

The AIS program is a specialized curriculum administered by The Institutes, an organization dedicated to providing accreditation and continuing education to insurance professionals. Lyons earned this recognition by completing a prerequisite program and courses on insurance services and ethics.

“With the coursework’s focus on process improvement methods, I’m now better able to identify ways to enhance the service we offer our agency partners,” Lyons said.

Lyons attended Bowling Green State University. He also holds an Associate in Insurance (AINS) designation.

“Designations like the AIS and AINS open the door to new ideas and tools,” Diana Ahlers, senior commercial services supervisor, said. “We’re happy we had this opportunity to support Zachary through our Education Assistance Program.”
