An independent agents group said that when it arrives in New Orleans for an upcoming conference, 300 of its members will take up tools and spend a day helping to rebuild the hurricane-damaged city.
The Alexandria, Va.-based Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America said it arranged to do the work with the New Orleans chapter of Habitat during the association's Sept. 5-11 fall leadership conference and board meeting.
Emily Crane, an IABA spokesperson, said there had been no difficulty in getting people for a day of building work. “We are allowed to have 300 volunteers, and we will have 300 volunteers,” she said, adding that the IABA had so many members offering to participate that the group had to turn people away.
