The Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT) expands the value and influence of independent insurance agencies via advocacy, training, business solutions, professional networking, and market resources. Independent insurance agents represent multiple insurance companies; they aren’t employees of any single insurance company. Their independence empowers them to focus exclusively on providing their customers with the best, most personalized insurance options possible. As the largest association of independent agencies in the country—representing more than 1,200 agencies that employ approximately 12,000 Texans — IIAT provides a wide range of products and resources to the insurance industry. Each year, IIAT delivers more than 250 days of insurance-related education, ongoing legislative and regulatory advocacy, access to new insurance markets, customized business solutions, and networking opportunities. IIAT is affiliated with the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA, the “Big I”) and TrustedChoice.
