IIABA

Gibson Insurance Group is a member of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA). The IIABA is a national alliance of 300,000 businesses who offer insurance and financial service products.

We are proud to be an independent agency and believe our independence provides valuable benefits to our clients. Unlike company-employed agents, IIABA independent insurance agents and insurance brokers represent more than one insurance company, so we can offer clients a wider choice of auto, home, business, life, health coverages as well as retirement and employee-benefit products. Being independent allows us to find the best policies for our clients based on their individual criteria versus having a standard policy that has to work for many scenarios.

IIABA was founded in 1896 as the National Local Association of Fire Insurance Agents. With the expansion of property-casualty business and coverages, the organization’s name was changed to the National Association of Insurance Agents in 1913. To emphasize its members’ ability to work with a variety of insurance companies, the organization became the Independent Insurance Agents of America in 1975. The Association’s name was changed in 2002 to the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America to reflect the diversity of its membership, which includes both independent insurance agents and insurance brokers.
