IA&B Advocacy

Working for Independent Agents

IA&B is your advocate in Harrisburg, PA, Annapolis, MD and Dover, DE.

With a constant presence in the capitols, IA&B staff and lobbyists work daily to monitor legislation and regulations that affect independent agents. We advance laws and regulations that benefit independent insurance agencies, while opposing those that could harm your business. And in conjunction with our government affairs team in Washington, D.C., we monitor and advise on federal legislation.

AgentPAC is the state-based, bi-partisan political action committee which enhances IA&B’s advocacy efforts. AgentPAC pools the voluntary contributions of IA&B members and uses those funds to support the election of candidates and legislators who understand the issues important to the independent agent and broker community.
