ESI’s Annual Top Producer conference, the ESI Elite Symposium, was held at The Pendry Park City last week and featured networking, engaged business sessions and, of course, celebration.

A highlight of the Symposium is the Awards Dinner where our 2021 top producers received their awards, and a new, surprise award was presented.

President’s Award
In addition to our top producer and agency awards, ESI introduced the ESI President’s Award. ESI President, Ata Azarshahi, introduced the award:

“We have had the honor to have long-standing relationships with many of you, in many cases for decades. And because of that long-standing partnership, we’ve celebrated a lot of achievements together. So tonight I’m introducing the President’s Award. It’s not an award that is not based on qualifications; it’s an award to recognize those big milestones.

In 2021, Steve Simon marked his tenth year as the Platinum Producer for Equity Services, and we can’t let that go unrecognized. It’s an exceptional achievement by an exceptional individual who is always offering to contribute.” 

Steve Simon, congratulations on 10 years as ESI’s #1!
