Team - P.A. Bland Insurance Agency

Meet Our Team

At a time when women were considered a minority as insurance agency owners, Patricia was encouraged to open her own agency by a friend in the business. P. A. Bland & Associates opened in May 1990... starting from scratch, with no clients, and has built their enterprise into a successful operation. Their basic philosophy, or number one goal, is to make sure their clients are well protected by helping them understand coverage that is needed for both personal and commercial insurance products.
