Welcome to ACT News

As we celebrate the conclusion of our 25th anniversary year, ACT is far from slowing down! We've been diligently crafting our strategic plans for 2025, and our vision is becoming increasingly clear and focused. Our "Letters to the Industry" initiative, which highlights ACT's four pillars—Data, Connectivity, AI, and People/Culture—has been a driving force behind this clarity.

We're delighted to announce that Independent Agent Magazine has featured our introductory "Letter to the Industry" in their November edition. This recognition underscores our commitment to a future-forward approach and lays a strong foundation for our new work group model. We are excited about the journey ahead and the innovative strides we are poised to make. We're thrilled to share that we will be unveiling more letters in the months ahead, continuing to build on our strategic initiatives.
