IMGA MEMBERS.... In Their Own Words!
"It's important to remember that the IMGA is a non-profit unit of municipal government, created BY municipal governements specifically to SERVE municipal governments." -- Paul Turpin, Board Member, Franklin, Illinois
"I love discussing market strategies with IMGA. Regardless of market volatility, IMGA can help interpret trends, develop purchase strategies, and give my customers the right price at that time.

"I have been working with natural gas in Fulton for about 17 years. It seemed we were changing which private company we were buying our gas from every three or four years. Pricing, billing, accountability and customer service were some of the various reasons we switched companies. We are very pleased with IMGA. I can understand the bill, and if I have a question, they answer it. One person can handle our situation; it does not take a committee to get an answer. I feel like we are both on the same team. I am not a customer, I am a member. They listen." -- Bill Johnson, Director of Administration, Fulton, MO
"I've had the opportunity to interact with various gas companies, and I can say that IMGA "fits" our profile best. They operate in a low overhead, no nonsense format to efficiently deliver natural gas to their customers. Customers are provided risk management choices tailored to their individual needs. IMGA also provides expert marketing analysis and current daily price and storage information to assist in understanding influences affecting natural gas consumers." -- Tim Larsen, Utilities Manager, Corning Municipal Utilities, Corning, IA
"The City of Perryville has a long-standing relationship with the good people at IMGA. We have found them to be a great company to work with and, in all honesty, have no reason to look elsewhere. We truly believe we are getting the best value we can for our citizens and IMGA's knowledgeable staff are more than meeting our needs." -- Brent Buerck, City Administrator, City of Perryville, MO
