The Insurors Group (IG) began at a brainstorming meeting at the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas Convention in June 1997.

IG began conducting business in January 1998 as one of the first entities of its kind in Texas. In April 1998, Kayla Slack was hired as the Coordinator for IG.

As other independent broker associations began forming across Texas, IG  had to differentiate itself. We reached a special arrangement with trusted insurance companies: IG members became preferred agents, with each agency supporting the carriers' plans. IG developed relationships with partner companies, presenting all members as one, and committed to seeking mutual goals and results. The in-depth and detailed plan put in place in 2000 remains very successful today.

IG has achieved the goal of market access and spread of risk throughout Texas. We've never felt pressure to grow our membership merely for the sake of getting bigger. The IG board has long felt that our optimum membership number is somewhere between 9 and 15 agencies. This gives us the advantage of size, yet preserves the effectiveness gained by having a  working board that interacts well and is committed to IG's success. Currently we have 12 members. IG remains open to considering new agency members that fit our profile and offer geographical or market advantages.
