The NBA’s Charlotte (NC) Hornets announced this month that it will extend its partnership with Insurance Office of America, Inc.

Already the Official Insurance Broker of the basketball team, the IOA will continue to be the team’s exclusive partner in the insurance broker category.

“IOA has been on board with us for several years and has seen the value in partnering with our organization, especially as we have transitioned to the Hornets name and continued to grow our brand regionally,” said Fred Whitfield, Hornets president and COO.

Thanks to the partnership, IOA can share a digital presence at the Hornets’ official website, as well as timewarnercablearena.com. Aside from its collaboration with the Hornets, IOA is partnered with more than 50 professional sports teams and leagues.

“IOA is excited to renew our partnership with the Charlotte Hornets,” said John Ritenour, IOA chairman and founder. “The Hornets organization continues to impress us with their growing success, both on and off the court in the Carolina marketplace, which is a strong growth area for IOA as well.”
