Insurance agencies, like any business, depend on a host of other industries to thrive. Here at IBA, we want to give those vendors the recognition they deserve, so we're spotlighting the best of the best! We've been collecting data for months, looking for the best technology providers, financial firms and other vendors that help independent brokers succeed.

Now we want to give brokers and agents one last chance to make their voices heard. Just fill out this short survey to let us know about the vendors you think deserve some time in the spotlight! We'll feature the best of the best in an upcoming issue of IBA. And we'll even reward you for giving us your opinion; one survey respondent will receive a Samsung Galaxy tablet!

Nominate your best of the best by Friday, Oct. 16!
