the value we bring
About Us
To glorify God by protecting, promoting and preserving the role of the operator in all 50 states for the next 50 years.
GIOA started
as a group of operators in Atlanta, Georgia in cooperation to acquire, purchase, and deliver produce. This program was started and spearheaded by Jonathan Hollis. Operators quickly saw the value and power of working together in a formal system with a formal process to meet specific needs that affected all operators.Â
In 2020, another small group of operators met to meet a new need: health insurance. An even greater formal organization was needed and Guardian Independent Operator Association was formed under the leadership of Jonathan Hollis, Alex Vann, Randy Smith and Justin Mize. A group of trusted operators became the board of trustees and a trust was also formed.Â
Our Purpose: To faithfully uphold the principles and practices of our shared past while forging a shared path into our future.Â
GIOA now offers a healthcare solution for members in all 50 states.Â
