R.J. O’Brien Insurance Agency
\nInc<\/strong>., a member of Empire Spectrum LLC,
\nis part of a group of independent insurance
\nagencies around the United States participating
\nin the Independent Insurance Agents &
\nBrokers of America (IIABA) Best Practices
\nstudy group.<\/p>\n

Each year since 1993, IIABA and Reagan
\nConsulting, an Atlanta-based management
\nconsulting firm, join forces to study the
\ncountry’s leading agencies in six revenue
\ncategories. The agencies comprising the study
\ngroups are selected every third year through
\na comprehensive nomination and qualifying
\nprocess and awarded a Best Practices Agency
\ndesignation.
\nThe selected agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year.<\/p>\n

More than 1,100 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 216 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top performing agencies in one of six revenue categories.<\/p>\n

The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance.<\/p>\n

The O’Brien Insurance Agency was founded in 1957 and can offer insurance products from a number of different companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
