Member agencies are affiliated with the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, Inc. (IIABA), and all agency staff are considered members at both the state and national levels. Trusted Choice® membership is included with agency membership.

Annual dues are based on agency size, number of employees, and branch locations.
