The decisions made in Austin directly shape the environment in which your agency operates. IMPACT helps make sure independent agents are visible, engaged, and heard when those decisions are made.

What is IMPACT?

IMPACT is IIAT’s political action committee (PAC). It’s the voice of independent agents at the Texas Capitol, ensuring that your interests and your business are protected.

What does IMPACT do?

• Advocates for independent agents by proposing and supporting legislation that protects your business and your clients.
• Opposes harmful legislation that could threaten the independent agency model.
• Increases awareness among lawmakers about the unique challenges and benefits of independent insurance agencies.
• Ensures consumer choice and fair competition in the Texas insurance market.
• Povides critical updates on legislative actions that impact your business.

Why should I support IMPACT?

• Your Business Depends on It. Laws and regulations shape the industry you work in—your contribution helps elect leaders who support independent agents.
• 100% of Every Dollar Stays in Texas. IMPACT contributions go directly to state and local candidates who understand the importance of independent insurance agencies.
• Strength in Numbers. The more agents who contribute, the stronger our collective voice becomes at the Texas Capitol.
• We Have a Goal to Reach. Help us hit our goal of $260,000—every contribution, no matter the size, helps protect the future of independent insurance agencies.

“It’s important to give to IMPACT so there is a connection between the IIAT Government Affairs team and elected officials who vote on legislation. When bills are filed and politicians need to learn the practical implications, they can rely on the experts at IIAT to help guide them through the decision-making process.“ Rep. Cole Hefner,

What is a Political Action Committee?

A political action committee or PAC is a group that is formed to give money to the political campaigns of people who are likely to make decisions that would benefit the group's interests.

Facts about IMPACT

• All fundraising efforts throughout the state are administered by the IMPACT Board, IIAT governmental affairs staff and IMPACT Regional Vice Presidents.
• Funds are disbursed on a nonpartisan basis to both Democrats and Republicans and are based on issues that promote IIAT’s legislative agenda.
• IMPACT is one of the largest trade association PACs in Texas.

Does IMPACT buy votes?

No. Candidates and public officials are honorable people whose votes are not for sale. But by helping elect business-minded public policy decision-makers, IMPACT assures independent insurance agents the opportunity to present our views and be heard.

IMPACT fully complies with all state and federal election law.

“The success of our members goes hand in hand with the success of IIAT’s legislative efforts - good laws on the books, coupled with a friendly regulatory environment, make that possible. Giving to IMPACT puts IIAT’s government affairs team in a position to help pro-business candidates get elected so we can maintain both.“ William J. Crocker, CLCS, Vice President, Alliant Americas

Can we count on your support?

We urge you to assist us in our efforts at the Capitol.
