The MIAA is a not-for-profit trade association representing independent insurance agencies across the State of Maine.

Membership in the MIAA results in the assurance of the highest level of representation and support services available in the industry. Our efforts are directed towards the effective delivery of valuable products and services to our members so as to insure, enhance and enable them to better serve their clients.

The MIAA is a member of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA) and the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA).

The IIABA was founded in 1896 and is a voluntary association of independent state associations. The IIABA or Big “I” as it is known is the largest producer association in the country, representing approximately 280,000 independent insurance agents and their employees in 28,000 agencies across the nation.

The National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) represents independent insurance agents in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. They operate cutting-edge agencies and treat their customers like neighbors, providing personal support and service.

Together, the IIABA, PIA and MIAA provide the most comprehensive package of high-quality, professional products and services available in the industry today. These services include, but are not limited to the following:

Agency Management

Education

Insurance/Financial Plans

Legislative

Industry Relations

Marketing Tools

Public Relations

Product Discounts

Publications

Seminars & Conventions

Technology

Collectively, we feel that these programs are an invaluable, and virtually indispensable aid to the independent insurance agency.

The long-range goals and policies of the MIAA are established by our Executive Committee.

The decision-making process includes the active involvement of our Board of Directors, which consists of 15 agents from all areas of the state.
