Pam Evans, President of Star Benefit Associates, will join Integrity as a Managing Partner as part of the deal. Star Benefit Associates will be able to continue their vital work at a greater level because of their collaboration with Integrity.
- Leading experts: Star Benefit Associates, which helped develop the Medicare Advantage pilot program in 2002, is still one of Indiana’s leading experts on the program. By focusing on relationship-building and service, the specialist boutique firm helps brokers navigate the intricacies of assisting the older market. Star Benefit Associates promotes mentorship and promotion possibilities in the sector for its workforce, with an all-female ownership and employees. Star Benefit Associates works with hundreds of brokers in Indiana to satisfy the insurance needs of over 10,000 people each year.
- Woman centric: “We are a women-owned, relationship-oriented company and we have built a reputation for doing the right thing for the right reasons,” said Pam Evans, President of Star Benefit Associates. “We experienced tremendous organic growth and were at a stage where we needed to find the right partner. Integrity is a natural fit because the products and technology they offer will immediately benefit our agents and support our staff. Being part of the Integrity family will allow us to grow exponentially, and we are so excited about this industry-leading partnership.”
- Centralized office: Using Integrity’s centralized back-office activities, such as accounting, IT, human resources, legal, and compliance, Star Benefit Associates will be able to focus on the development potential. Star Benefit Associates’ agents have access to industry-leading technology, including unique quotation and enrollment tools, data and analytics, product development, and world-class advertising and marketing business, through the Integrity platform.
