Welcome to Big I Connecticut, a non-profit trade association serving the needs of independent agents in Connecticut. Big I Connecticut was founded in 1899 and has long been a leader on issues for agents, working closely with regulators and the insurance industry on matters such as agent licensing, anti-rebate laws, ownership of expirations, banking and insurance, and agent compensation. We meet regularly with the Insurance Commissioner and department staff to discuss current market conditions and consumer issues. Today, Big I CT offers a wide variety of products and services to its members. Our education calendar offers a wide range of options for licensing, continuing education, and advanced degree programs. We offer several insurance programs for our members to protect their agency business and insurance products that they can leverage for their customers. Big I CT also offers technical and regulatory assistance, allowing members to “Ask The Expert.” We are a strong advocate for independent agents at our state capital and in Washington, D.C. Whatever the issue may be, Big I CT is the voice for independent agents. Our national association, IIABA is a predominant lobbying force in Washington and is constantly ranked among the top 10 of all the lobbying groups in the United States. The Big “I” mission succinctly captures our purpose: to provide independent agents with a sustainable competitive advantage. To accomplish that, Big I CT is the unrelenting advocate on the issues that shape the environment in which our membership conducts business. Big I CT is the voice in the halls of Congress, the state capital, and in boardrooms across the nation.
