The Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) has changed its name to the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) to more accurately reflect the membership profile of the organization. In a statement, CEO Robert A. Rusbuldt commented that the association provides services to “member businesses of all sizes-from the smaller independent agencies to the largest agencies and brokerage firms in the country.” As such, the name change more accurately reflects the organization’s mission, “which is to advocate on behalf of all independent agents and brokers,” Rusbuldt added. IIABA was unanimously recommended by the association’s National Board of State Directors during its meeting in January. The new name was ratified during a membership meeting conducted April 12 at the association’s mid-year meeting.
