Since 1993, the Big I and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have studied the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. Agency selection for the study takes place every third year, and agencies are chosen through an extensive nomination and qualification process. When chosen, agencies receive the coveted “Best Practices Agency” designation, which is retained for three years. During that time, agencies submit comprehensive financial and operational data to the study group annually for review.
During this current three-year study, more than 1,100 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated, but only 195 agencies were awarded the honor. Gary Semmer, Executive Vice President and Partner at Esser Hayes, and member of ARM National’s Board of Directors states "We are excited that 9 of our ARM member firms were recognized as 2015 Best Practices Agencies by IIABA and Reagan Consulting for operational and financial management which places them in the top 1% of their respective peer groups.”
