As early as the mid-1950s, we recognized the power of specialization and began writing commercial affinity business. Since that time, and catapulted by the Federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986, we transformed ourselves from a large regional retailer into one of the country’s first Program Managers. For the past 6 decades, we have dedicated ourselves to program business. Our philosophy has always been to deliver products to our brokers which allow them to distinguish themselves from their competition, from both a pricing and coverage perspective. At the same time, we have delivered extraordinary long-term profitability to our carriers. Satisfying the dual objectives of our brokers and carriers has made us an extremely-stable platform, which is a rare commodity in the insurance industry.

MPA is one of The McGowan Companies (TMC); a family-controlled, conglomerate of insurance and financial service companies.
