Todd Jackson, owner and partner of McGowan Insurance Group, has been named chairman of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”).
Jackson was installed as the 2024-2025 chairman of the industry group at its fall conference in Indianapolis, which also serves as McGowan’s headquarters.
Big “I” said Jackson has been a prominent volunteer leader with the organization at the state and national level. He served on the Big I Indiana Board of Directors, which expanded to the Indiana Executive Committee before eventually becoming state president in 2013. He also represented Indiana on the national Big “I” Board of Directors for four years, served on the Trusted Choice board and the Finance Committee, and was elected to the national Executive Committee in 2018.
As the new chairman, Jackson is focused on reinforcing the association’s core member benefits and enhancing operational efficiencies. This includes prioritizing programs that deliver value to members while ensuring the Big “I” supports member agencies’ evolving needs, as well as fostering a strong relationship between the national Big “I” and state associations.
Along with Jackson, Lou Moran III, president of Inter-Agency Insurance Service in Knoxville, Tennessee, was sworn in as Big “I” chairman-elect. Angela Ripley, president of VW Brown Insurance Services in Columbia, Maryland, will be the 2024-2025 vice chair.
