"Through Quote & Bind and CoverForce, ISU's agents in markets where carriers have dropped coverage can reach other markets to make up for that shortfall, CEO T. J. Ryan III noted. "Agencies in California don't have any product to sell. They're really in a bad way right now," he said. "This gives them the opportunity to develop a vertical and sell all over the country, which is a pretty powerful thing if you're an insurance agent."

We are proud to offer a product in partnership with CoverForce to help independent agents and agencies remain independent. Thanks to Digital Insurance and Michael Shashoua for covering our story.

A message from ISU Insurance Agency Network CEO TJ Ryan III:

"Two weeks ago, our community lost one of the best men I have EVER known.

Hank Marvin, a man of great physical presence surpassed only by his grace and character. A professional, a friend, a counselor, an inspiration, a man of compassion and understanding who always did the right thing and loved a good laugh. My sadness over his physical departure is only surpassed by my happiness for the good fortune to have known him and had him as a friend for 30 years. His memory and example of what a real man is will never fade.

Rest peacefully, Hank."
