                           TRIBUTE TO BOB FEE

 Mr. MORAN. Madam President, I rise today to recognize my good 
friend Mr. Bob Fee as he nears the end of his term as the 116th 
chairman of the Nation's largest insurance association, the Independent 
Insurance Agents and Brokers of America--IIABA--also known as the Big 
``I.'' He was installed as chairman of the Big ``I'' in September 2021 
in Kansas City. Over the past year, he has done a remarkable job 
leading the association as a strong and thoughtful leader for 
independent insurance agents and small businesses across the country.
  Bob is a graduate of the University of Kansas and the USF&G School of 
Insurance in Baltimore, MD. He is currently the president of Fee 
Insurance Group in Hutchinson, KS. He joined his family's agency in 
1987, continuing a long family tradition of serving the community. The 
Fee Insurance Group can trace its roots back to 1883 in its hometown of 
Hutchinson and now has four locations throughout the State.
  At the national association level, Bob has been a member of the Big 
``I'' government affairs committee and the Trusted Choice board of 
directors, including a term as the Trusted Choice board chairman. He 
received the Big ``I'' Chairman's Citation in 2011. At the State 
association level, Bob served on the Kansas Association of Insurance 
Agents--KAIA--board of directors and as the Kansas director on the 
national association board. He has also served on several KAIA 
committees, including the government affairs committee, and was the 
2007-2008 KAIA president.
  As chairman of the Big ``I,'' Bob has represented his country, his 
industry, and the great State of Kansas with distinction.
  The State of Kansas is proud of Bob Fee and wishes him and his wife 
Annie well following his successful term as chairman of the Big 
``I.''
