I
cannot tell you how honored I am to be elected
Chairman of IIAV — the largest and oldest insurance
trade association in the Commonwealth. We are
embarking on our 125th anniversary year and for any
corporation — profit or non-profit — that is a notable
milestone. We’ve gone through many changes and
certainly expect to go through many more. Many times, we
have heard about the demise of the independent agency
system, and we’ve proved them wrong. Consumers want
help when it comes to protecting their interests, their lives
and those of their families and their property and their
future — both personal and commercial.
IIAV serves to help our membership — the agencies and their
employees to excel and become more efficient, effective

and productive. I read recently, “We don’t get paid for the
hours we work. We get paid for the value we deliver.” That
goes for us professionally and for IIAV. I can tell you from
personal experience from when my dad introduced me to
IIAV to now, the staff at IIAV works tirelessly supporting and
representing the independent agency system. I appreciate
the responsibility and expectation to help guide all the
facets of IIAV in the direction of helping you, the IIAV
member, to include the Independent Insurance Agents of
Virginia, the Virginia Financial Services Corporation, The
Virginia Association of Insurance Agents and the Virginia
Agents Political Affairs Committee.
That said, in this issue of Big I Virginia we have the Second
Annual Virginia P/C Marketplace Summary updated
through 2021. In this, you will not only find
nationwide data on trends and statistics,
but this is also the ONLY place you will
find such detailed data for Virginia and
the markets we serve. I know a number of
you are going to want this entire report —
all 53 pages of it — and you can get this
report by contacting Bob Bradshaw at IIAV
at Rbradshaw@iiav.com.
The IIAV is known for providing the best
of information, professional development,
information resources and advocacy.
You will not find stronger and more
comprehensive benefits for everyone in
your agency. We’re proud to have you as
a member and I’m honored to serve you
this year.
Best,
Michael Yergey
Chairman, 2022-23
