The award is presented annually at our General Assembly to the member agent who best exhibits these qualities through education, specific programs, and environmentally sound business practices. We are incredibly proud of the progress our members have made in these critical areas since the creation of the Juan Peralta Ecology Award.

We especially encourage our 2025 runners-up to update their presentations and re-apply for this year's award.

CREDIT CARD AND WIRE TRANSFER PROCESSING FEES:

After decades of PAIMA absorbing credit card and wire transfer fees, it was determined by the PAIMA Board of Directors to replicate what other associations are doing vis-a-vis credit card and wire transfer processing fees. Please be advised that moving forward, there will be a 3% convenience fee for credit card transactions and a $75.00 wire transfer fee, for wire transfers respectively. We are happy to report that there of course are not fees for checks. Please make note and thank you for supporting the well-being of our Association.

MANDATORY ATTENDANCE REMINDER:

PAIMA Members - As per PAIMA By-Laws which were approved during our one of our past General Assemblies, please make note that a penalty fee of $500 will be levied for convention non-attendance compliance which requires attending the PAIMA convention at least once every two years.

One of the biggest value-adds of being a PAIMA Member is to attend the yearly convention. You can count on tremendous networking and business opportunities with the PAIMA family and friends.
