  Q: What is Texas Agency Alliance?    
   
A: TAA is a Master Agency affiliated with Strategic Independent Agency Alliance (SIAA). We are a growing network of Independent Agencies throughout Texas and offer growth opportunities to agencies wishing to remain independent while being able to compete with larger regional agencies.
 
  Q: How did TAA originate?  
 
 
A: The concept began in 1982 with Satellite Agency Network (SAN) of New England in response to the changes in the Independent Agency system. At the time, many local agencies were finding it difficult, if not impossible, to meet volume requirements, attract and keep markets, and survive. SAN allowed the local independent agencies to remain independent, keep markets, attain new ones, generate additional revenue and receive profit sharing without having to sell, merge, or cluster with other agencies.

TAA is building on SAN’s success.
