Founded in 1972, Partee Insurance Associates has become one of Southern California’s premier brokerages for personal, business and employee benefits insurance. Part of the company’s success lies in its service philosophy. “We do what other agents just talk about, and we always want to be your insurance advocate,” says CEO Wayne Partee. The company operates with a ‘total team’ approach, and each staff member knows the rest of the staff has his or her back. That also means that when clients call, they can get an answer to their question from anyone on the team. The company is also actively involved in bettering the surrounding community; it co-chairs the Fields of Valor charity event, which raises funds for military personnel, family members and veterans. The agency also has set up two scholarships for insurance students at Cal State Fullerton.
