Welcome!
​Since 1927, when the Independent Insurance Agents of Northeast Florida (IIANF) was formed as a professional membership association serving Agency and Associate members, our goal has been to provide valuable benefits, resources, training/education, and networking opportunities.
IIANF is pleased to be part of the vibrant First Coast of Florida!

It was a Big Dill! The inaugural IIANF Pickleball Fest on Thursday, May 15th at The HUB Jax in Orange Park and presented by AmWINS with partnerships by Markel Insurance, Olympus, Rytech North Florida, and South Bay Acceptance Corporation was a big success. Thank you to the sponsors, players, guests,
and volunteers.
