Local Independent Insurance Agency Associations


Local associations across Texas comprise the all-important grassroots network that links independent agents in a close-knit community -- a vital part of the Texas independent agency system.

The success of these local associations helps maintain strong programs and clear policies in the areas of governmental affairs, community involvement and public relations. They also provide a vital service as a training venue for future industry leadership.

Associations encourage members to work in their communities in a variety of capacities and help members stay active, involved, informed and educated through numerous programs and activities.
