• To foster and expand the responsible and effective distribution of life and health insurance and related financial services for the benefit of the brokers, agents, companies and consumers that are serviced by agencies;
• To increase the knowledge of members regarding the lawful, efficient and profitable applications of technology and systems to agency management;
• To promote practices, regulations and legislation in the best interest of life brokerage agencies, producing agents and to better serve consumers;
• To provide a legally constituted medium through which members may deal with common concerns and co-ordinate their collective efforts;
• To work with other organizations in the interest of the insurance industry.
