Nancy R. Jackson, CIC

President, Roberson & Associates Insurance

HOME: Benton

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Italy in Town

There’s feeling like you were “born” to do something, and then there’s Nancy Jackson, who knew from the age of 11 that she would follow in her father’s footsteps as an insurance agent. According to Jackson, “so far, it’s working out.” Working out might be an understatement, as now Jackson is recognized far and away as a stand out in the industry. In 2018, she was awarded the Charlotte Patterson Memorial Award and recognized as Insurance Woman of the Year. She was also elected president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Arkansas for 2022-23. She has a passion for problem solving and loves to tackle a challenge, which is all the better for her clients and peers.

What other woman do you admire most?

My mom, because she is the smartest and hardest working person I’ve ever met. She instilled the importance of work ethic, community, responsibility and accountability in me from a very young age. With her degree in Mathematics from Hendrix College, she set the standard high for my sister and me.

What is the best part of your day?

Being greeted by my two Goldendoodles when I get home at the end of the day. They never fail to greet me with a toy, a bone or (for one of them) a dish towel.

What’s one thing you would change about your field?

I think at times the perception of the insurance agent mirrors that of the attorney: No one wants one until they really need one. In reality, your agent is your most important point of contact to help identify risks and educate you on the proper way to protect assets, family members and business interests.

What are your favorite hobbies?

Now that I am older, my favorite hobbies are spending time with family, reading and playing with my ‘doodles. I love sitting on my screened porch just watching the woods or enjoying our family home on Lake Hamilton. I also enjoy watching the Razorbacks play football, basketball and baseball.
