Consistently ranked amongst the top 20 independently owned brokers in the United States, the employee-owned company offers a full range of risk management related products with offices in Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita.

The company’s Community Action Committee raises and donates money to charities selected and supported by IMA employees.
