Our company members enjoy much more than just being listed on a membership list. They receive REAL measurable benefits.

• They enjoy a first-hand approach to Georgia’s legislative body and direct assistance with the Department of Insurance (DOI).
  
  
• Often, through PIA, our company members are able to get more timely responses to issues as wide-ranging as agent’s licensing to rate filings.
  
  
• Our director, Jerry Duke, visits the DOI almost weekly and often goes directly to various department heads checking on company-related issues.
  
  
• We know everything does not revolve around regulations or legislation, and we structure our company membership to allow you direct access to the quality agents you need to grow your business.

Our Pinnacle partners enjoy exclusive exposure to the attendees of our annual Education Expo where over 500 agents take part in a two-day program of quality education.

Eligibility: Non-agency, insurance-related business entity (e.g. insurance carriers operating under the Independent Agency System; premium finance companies; MGAs; disaster/restoration companies, etc.). Membership is only extended at the state level; it does not include the national level.
