Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity. “By Integrity and The Alliance joining forces, we will be able to provide more coverage to American families than ever before, while helping our agents, agencies and insurance carrier partners grow faster at the same time.” “The Integrity partnership model has attracted a long list of industry icons, and I am so proud to welcome Andy Albright to that list. Our focus is on bringing together an incredible team of leaders to shape the future of the industry,” said Steve Young, Chairman of the Board of Integrity. “Andy has been a dynamic force in the industry for many years and we are excited to bring his vast experience and unmatched energy into the Integrity family.” “It is an honor to be sitting at the same table with the industry leaders I’ve admired and respected for so many years,” said Albright. “The Integrity platform is leading the market and we want to be part of that story. This partnership raises the bar for the industry as a whole and I’m confident our best days are ahead of us! We’re about to really take off, as we grow together with Integrity!” “The synergies between The Alliance and Integrity will open many doors,” said Jim Henson, Chief Operations Consultant of The Alliance. “The insurance needs of this country are massive, and the market is still underserved. With Integrity’s tools and resources behind us, there is no telling what we can do to help more American families be prepared for major life events.” Through Integrity’s partnership program, The Alliance will have access to the diverse and exclusive products available only to Integrity partners, as well as the support of industry-leading sales and marketing systems. The Alliance will also be able to streamline its business functions by integrating with Integrity’s extensive infrastructure and utilizing its platform of resources and services, including human resources, IT, compliance, social media, lead generation and operational areas of support. “As we’ve partnered with some of the fastest-growing insurance businesses like The Alliance, we’re building an ‘Integrity Effect,’” said Shawn Meaike, Founder and President of Family First Life and a Managing Partner of Integrity. “The synergies, resources, tools and products we provide our partners are driving exponential growth. I can’t wait to partner with Andy and the other leaders at Integrity to grow faster than we could on our own!” “Integrity has raised the bar by showing all employees that they are valued and appreciated through participation in Integrity’s Employee Ownership Plan. This program allows our employees to be eligible for meaningful company ownership,” added Steve Young. “I love the generosity of Integrity. For years I’ve wanted to find a way to give ownership to our team,” said Albright. “With this Integrity partnership, the 150 employees who have helped me build The Alliance now have the opportunity to own part of a multibillion-dollar company with an incredible growth trajectory.” “The world of opportunities that Integrity brings, from carriers and product development to accessing a full-service advertising and marketing agency, it just blows my mind,” said Albright. “But you know what?
