Renaissance Alliance is featured in an article entitled A Great Revival by Dennis Pillsbury in Rough Notes. The article focuses on the many ways that Renaissance Alliance helps independent agents grow, prosper and stay independent. Here's an excerpt:

"Many agencies don’t have the wherewithal to hire a person for each function. What is needed is a jack-of-all-trades who can take over any position from the agency owner. However, few individuals have the diverse talents needed to handle all the functions required to have a smoothly running insurance agency. But, Bruce thought, a separate entity could hire a number of individuals with those talents and make them available to independent agents that wanted to get out from under marketing and administrative chores. Such a group could bring economies of scale to bear and could also provide marketing advantages by having a volume of business that would be of interest to insurance companies."

The Rough Notes Company has been providing news, information, and services to property/casualty insurance agents and brokers since its founding in 1878.
