The Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT) has named Bill Henry, CEO of Dallas-based McQueary Henry Bowles Troy LLP, winner of the Paige Eiland Award for Voluntary Political Action.
As a regional vice president for IIAT’s IMPACT program, Henry has raised more than half a million dollars for Texas agent political action programs. He is also one of the largest individual contributors to IMPACT and regularly supports elections at both the state and national level. Most notably, he has worked closely with the Texas Legislature and regulators on improvements of the Workers’ Compensation system and reducing the Assigned Risk Pool deficit in Texas.
Henry has been active in the insurance industry since 1972, selling and servicing Fortune 1000 accounts for the Texas Employers’ Insurance Association, National Accounts division. In 1983, he co-formed McQueary & Henry Inc. building it from the ground up. Today, McQueary Henry Bowles Troy LLP is one of the largest privately-owned independent agencies in the country. In addition, he has served four years on Board of Directors for Independent Insurance Agents of Dallas, including several years as an instructor for various courses.
Henry also helped create and develop Signal Mutual, a group self-insurance program for federal workers’ compensation. He has also served as an advisory director for Southwestern States Insurance Agency, Inc. and director for Lone Star Insurance Co.
The political action award was named in honor of Paige Eiland, a politically active member of IIAT and a long-serving IMPACT regional vice president.
