This program for IACP members was developed in partnership with Molyneaux Insurance, and is open to all agencies who are contracted with United Heartland. “This is an outstanding result for our group program members,” said Paul Hingtgen, Senior Vice President of Loss Control and Underwriting. “The IACP program has consistently been successful year after year.
