Community Partners
Partner With Us to Strengthen RGV Families
South Texas Insurance Education Initiative (STIEI) partners with businesses, schools, workforce programs, cities/counties, and nonprofits to deliver no-cost, bilingual insurance education your people can actually use.
Partnership Models

- Series Programming: Quarterly or monthly sessions (e.g., Life 101 → Health Plan Basics → Auto Myths → Homeowners 101).
- Co-Branded Resources: Flyers, sign-ups, post-session checklists with your logo and ours.
- Referral Pathway (opt-in): Attendees who want extra help can request a 1:1 with a licensed professional.
