Starke Spotlighted by Opelika Chamber for East Alabama Growth

Starke Spotlighted by Opelika Chamber for East Alabama Growth

As we look ahead to our 100th year in business, we’re excited to see Starke’s story featured by the Opelika Chamber of Commerce—highlighting our continued growth and commitment to East Alabama.


In the article, Griffin McNeill, Vice President of Starke–Auburn, shared our vision for intentional growth rooted in trust, relationships, and community.

Since opening our Auburn office in 2023, Starke has been on a mission to bring our personalized service and independent brokerage model to the businesses and families of Auburn, Opelika, and the surrounding region.

“We’re not a transactional business. We really want to partner with our clients and grow with them.” — Griffin McNeill


What Sets Starke Apart

The piece also highlights what sets Starke apart—our ability to offer big-agency resources with a small-agency feel. As an independent insurance broker, we represent a wide range of carriers, allowing us to build coverage plans tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re a startup, a growing company, or an individual with complex assets.


The Involvement of University Agency

In early 2024, we strengthened our local roots even further by merging with The University Agency, bringing on respected professionals like Myra Johnson, Cecil Yarbrough, Yvette Biglow, and Leanna Griggs. Their deep community ties and decades of experience add depth to our East Alabama team and help ensure we continue delivering service with integrity, insight, and heart.

We’re proud to be part of this vibrant and growing community, and we’re grateful to the Opelika Chamber for sharing our story. Read the full article here:
