Robert A. Rusbuldt, CEO

Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America

Alexandria, Va.

Q: What were your organization's chief accomplishments in 2005?

Among other things, I'd cite the following:

-We established the Big "I" Katrina Relief fund with a $100,000 contribution

from the association and collected approximately $400,000 in total contributions and commitments. We worked with state associations to assist IIABA-member agencies that were affected by hurricanes, and we also worked with insurance companies to help Gulf Coast agencies.

-We worked with the National Conference of Insurance Legislators to produce a solid agent and broker compensation disclosure model law, and worked with state legislatures and insurance departments on their producer compensation and consumer provisions. Meanwhile, a number of insurers adopted IIABA's policy on producer compensation disclosure.
