Valley Insurance Agency Alliance (VIAA), a cohesive family of more than 160 independent insurance agencies in Missouri and Illinois, was recently named a platinum tier member in Previsor Insurance and Missouri Employees Mutual signature partner program. Criteria includes achieving $10 million in written premium business with the two insurance carriers.
Missouri Employees Mutual (MEM) is Missouri’s number one provider of workers compensation insurance. Combined with Previsor Insurance, MEM helps policyholders with injury-free workplaces by delivering value-added services that save lives and money. Previsor Insurance has workers compensation policies in six states including Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
The platinum level program rewards VIAA members with additional commissions on new business and renewal. An existing independent insurance agency that is not a VIAA member can join the alliance and instantly receive this revenue increase.
