HBA of Greater Dallas can now leverage HIA’s 30 years industry expertise and insurance carrier relationships toward providing the best possible health insurance plan available for association members. The initiative will provide a unified effort to build a group of individuals within HBA of Greater Dallas as well as the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) 29 additional local associations to approach health insurance carriers on their behalf.
HIA took charge of this initiative at the request of the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) in 2002. The initiative continues to grow in strength and numbers as TAB members move their health coverage to HIA and their partner agencies throughout Texas.

By working together with HBA of Greater Dallas, HIA is able to make affordable insurance options available to the small businesses that make up the home building industry.
