The Smart Choice® Story
In 1988 Doug Witcher found himself with a difficult decision to make — either sell his agency or merge his agency with another. Unfortunately, the decision was not by choice, but by necessity. A “Blue Chip” carrier was pulling out of his agency because it did not meet mandated growth objectives.
At that moment, Doug made a commitment to him — if he was ever in the position to help others in similar situations, he would do so. In 1994, Doug and a handful of agents launched Smart Choice.
Smart Choice® gives back
Our philosophy is simple — give back! We choose to support our industry through agent and carrier partnerships, and by creating groundbreaking programs to facilitate good business practices for consumers. Thriving communities can support successful businesses, so we strive to promote social responsibility and awareness through our philanthropic efforts in our community.
