Horace Mann Property and Casualty is the largest multiline insurance company focusing on the nation's educators and their families with more than $4 billion in assets. Horace Mann offers retirement annuities, automobile, homeowner, group and life insurance to educators and their families. Horace Mann was founded in Springfield, Ill., in 1945. Originally named the IEA (Illinois Education Association) Mutual Insurance Company, Horace Mann was established by two teachers who saw a need for providing auto insurance for their association members. Later, IEA Mutual was renamed Horace Mann. The name was chosen to honor the father of American public education and symbolized the company's commitment to the welfare of the educator community. In 1949, the Horace Mann Life Insurance Company was founded to provide a full range of life insurance products to educators and their families. Horace Mann is still headquartered in Springfield, Ill.
