The resolution commends the Talladega Insurance Agency on its 170th anniversary, recognizing it as the oldest insurance agency in Alabama and the second-oldest in the United States. Founded on February 13, 1856, by James G. Huey, the agency has remained independently owned and operated as a family business throughout its history. The current president, Boyd McGehee, is a fourth-generation owner who has continued the legacy of serving the insurance needs of the Talladega community and beyond.
In addition to its long-standing service in the insurance industry, the agency has actively engaged in philanthropic efforts, particularly through its involvement in the #AgentsofChange movement in Alabama. This initiative supports nonprofit organizations that assist low-income children in achieving educational success by providing resources, mentorship, and guidance. The resolution expresses high regard for the agency's achievements and its commitment to community service, wishing them continued success and prosperity.
