My PIA Family Helped Me Save My Agency

The date May 4, 1989 will be etched in Gene Galligan's memory forever. On that day his home town Monroe, Louisiana was hit by a catastrophic hail storm. Soon after, Gene's agency was hit by carriers pulling out. But his agency survived, thanks to his PIA colleagues lining him up with a new carrier, when he needed it most.

"Because of our PIA affiliations, we were able to continue in business; from there we were able to plant with other companies," said Galligan "Twenty-six years later, we are still in business and still a member of PIA! From those acts, I realized that PIA agents are not just competitors but part of a family, and I needed to be an active member in that family." Read Gene Galligan's compelling story here.
