The National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) represents independent insurance agencies and their employee-agents in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. PIA members operate cutting-edge agencies and treat their customers like neighbors, providing personal support and services.

PIA represents members’ interests in state capitals and in Washington, D.C. to ensure that lawmakers and regulators understand and support the independent agency system. PIA’s grassroots campaigns; the annual PIA Advocacy Day; and our political action committee, PIAPAC, give individual agents a powerful collective voice in government.

PIA works with insurance carriers and industry organizations—the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR), the National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (ACORD), and others—to ensure that the concerns of independent agents are addressed. Members have access to materials to strengthen their agencies and keep them up to date on evolving industry laws, regulations, and trends.

PIA was founded with objectives that are as relevant today as they were back in 1931:

Educate agency owners and staff about insurance concepts;
Keep agents informed about changing company offerings;
Allow agents to assist one another in proper underwriting of their business;
Increase cooperation between carriers and agents;
Encourage uniform policy writing and assist in proper form completion;
Advocate for agents in legislative matters;
Foster acquaintanceship among agents so they could support one another;
Protect the American Agency System
