BCH is pleased to announce we’ve been named a Big “I” Best Practices Agency for the 31st consecutive year! Awarded annually by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (also known as the IIABA, or Big “I”), Best Practices designations denote the industry’s top-performing insurance agencies.
The in-depth awards process begins with a nomination by an insurance carrier, state association or the insurance agency itself. After careful review, qualifying agencies receive an official invitation to take part in the Best Practices Study. Those who opt to participate submit detailed financial and operational information that is carefully evaluated, scored and ranked based on benchmarks such as financial stability, productivity, growth and profitability.
In 2024, 2,600 independent agencies were nominated, and just 235 achieved Best Practices status.
BCH is honored to have been not only nominated, but named a Best Practices Agency, every year since the award’s inception in 1993. We view the awards as an opportunity to ensure our team is meeting, and ideally exceeding, industry standards while providing the best possible support for our clients.
We are grateful to the IIABA for continuing to encourage our industry to evaluate and improve upon its practices. We are also incredibly proud of our team members who remain so dedicated to our clients and mission. Their hard work makes it possible for us to grow our efforts, expand our reach and continue serving as the business insurance, risk management and employee benefits source companies can turn to when it matters.
