The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers, an association for commercial insurance and employee benefits intermediaries in the United States and abroad, recently appointed Bill Henry to its Board of Directors. Henry is the chairman and CEO of Dallas-based McQueary Henry Bowles Troy L.L.P.
“I am extremely honored to be named to a leadership position with this prestigious organization,” said Henry. “For almost 100 years, The Council has been a leading organization in the insurance industry and the voice of market leaders everywhere. My appointment to the Council’s board is a testament to the growth of MHBT and the outstanding service and innovative solutions we offer our valued clients.”
The Council represents the largest, most productive and most profitable of all commercial insurance agencies and brokerage firms in the nation. Only the top one percent of all agents and brokers qualify for Council membership. The Council’s members in more than 3,000 locations, place 80 percent—well over $90 billion—of all U.S. insurance products and services protecting business, industry, government and the public at-large, and they administer billions of dollars in employee benefits.
In 1996, Henry became chairman and CEO of McQueary Henry Bowles Troy L.L.P., a newly formed partnership between McQueary & Henry Inc. and Bowles, Troy & Associates. Prior to becoming chairman and CEO, Henry was president of McQueary & Henry Inc., which was co-founded in 1983 by Henry and Joe McQueary. He served four years on the Board of Directors for the Independent Insurance Agents of Dallas and also served as chairman for various insurance companies’ agents councils.
“We are delighted that a business leader of Bill Henry’s caliber accepted our Board Nominating Committee’s invitation to serve on the Council’s Board of Directors,” said Ken Crerar, president of CIAB. “Nomination by his peers recognizes Bill’s deep commitment to work on behalf of MHBT and all members to advance the interests of large brokers and their clients. Bill is exactly the kind of leader our association needs at a time of challenge, change and opportunity within our industry. His deep knowledge about the insurance industry, the business of brokerage, and the needs of the industry’s clients strengthens the association and we are honored that he has agreed to serve.”
MHBT is based in Dallas and also has an office in Fort Worth. MHBT and its precursors have offered global insurance, bonds and financial services since 1926. The firm offers commercial risk management and insurance services, employee benefits and financial services, construction bond services, property and casualty insurance, personal insurance and surety and specialized services
