SAN DIEGO - Sept. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- For the seventh year in a row, San Diego-based risk management and insurance brokerage firm Cavigac & Associates has been selected by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) as part of its elite “Best Practices” study group, comprised of independent insurance agencies across the United States.

Every year since 1993, the IIABA has collaborated with Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management-consulting firm, to evaluate the business practices of the country’s top insurance brokerage agencies falling within six revenue categories. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process before they are awarded the IIABA “Best Practices” agency designation. The designated “Best Practices” agencies retain their status during a three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year.

“Cavignac & Associates’ inclusion with these outstanding agents and brokers clearly recognizes them as an industry leader,” said Bobby Bramlett, chairman of the IIABA.  “We commend the company and individual members of their organization.”

Cavignac & Associates has been an IIABA “Best Practices” agency since 2007.  Founded in 1992, the firm is focused on identifying and managing exposures to loss in order to lower its clients’ total cost of risk and, thus, driving dollars to their bottom lines.

“Being a ‘Best Practices’ agency requires having above-average organic growth and customer retention,” said Jeff Cavignac, president and principal of Cavignac & Associates. “Our employees understand that it’s only by being customer-focused and excellence-driven that we’re able to maintain our ‘Best Practices’ agency status. I feel very fortunate to have a team that is so dedicated to supporting these objectives.”

This year, Cavignac & Associates was among an elite group of 216 firms that were awarded the prestigious designation out of the 1,171 U.S. agencies that were nominated.

The “Best Practices” study was initiated by IIABA as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of the “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices. The agencies are nominated by either an IIABA-affiliated state association or an insurance company, then qualified based on their operational excellence.
