Written by: Staff Writer | March 6, 2015

Insurance Office of America (IOA) would like to congratulate the newest stockholders of IOA Group, LLC. This is a prestigious honor, as each new stockholder is elected by a vote of the IOA Board of Directors in recognition of their years of service and revenue contribution. Each stockholder also earns the title of Vice President at IOA. “I was very proud the day I was voted in as a stockholder at IOA, and our new stockholders in 2015 should feel that same way” – said Jeff Lagos President of IOA.

A core principle at IOA that has transformed our culture since 1988 is that our producers and employees have a vested interest in the overall success of the company and not just their book of business or salary. “Owners/Entrepreneurs” go the extra mile to make sure the job gets done. This has been a big factor in our success and is why IOA also gifts employees units through our ESOP program. Currently there are more than 100 stockholders and IOA anticipates this number to increase as we continue to invite more talented individuals into the organization and have successful years of growth.

We are proud of the work our Client Advocates (Agents) do in the community and for IOA clients nationwide. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the new stockholders and we are excited to welcome them into a vested interest in the future of IOA.

“I remember the sense of pride, accomplishment and acceptance when I received word I had been voted in as a stockholder. Those same feelings have only grown more and more over the years.” – Rob Motley Regional President of IOA
