These agencies - NBT Insurance Agency in Norwich, NY; Propel Insurance Agency in Alpharetta, GA; USI Insurance Services in Buffalo and Rochester, NY; and USI of Florham Park, NJ - have demonstrated excellence in their commitment to serving our policyholders. They now join the distinguished ranks of agents who have proven themselves as leaders in the insurance industry.

"Our Champion Circle agency partners are the essential link between our policyholders and the value MEMIC brings to employers' obligation to provide workers' compensation insurance and protect the well-being of their employees, " said Michael Bourque, President & CEO of MEMIC. "Agencies qualifying for this premier status have demonstrated more than just numeric benchmarks. They consistently demonstrate the behaviors that place them among the elite in the industry."

The Champion Circle program epitomizes MEMIC's dedication to cultivating enduring partnerships with our agents. MEMIC recognizes that its ability to grow and retain premium depends on strong agency partners who share our values. Conscientiousness, curiosity, continual development of expertise, and building strong partnerships through trust and transparency are the values that guide our daily work at MEMIC.

"We see Champion Circle agencies as critical partners to our continued growth and profitability," continued Bourque. "We are confident that the array of benefits that come with this distinction will be self-perpetuating for both the agencies and for MEMIC."

MEMIC's Champion Circle Program is built upon an agency selection process that starts with personal relationships developed locally in each state and territory. This ensures that only the most professional agencies in the business are chosen to represent MEMIC.

“Our commitment to be represented by the finest retail agencies in the country is reflected in the name 'Champion Circle,” said MEMIC President, Eastern Region Jeff Funk. “This program is not merely a marketing program; it is a strategy that represents how we choose to do business with our agency partners."

"MEMIC's Champion Circle agencies are proven winners, have a great reputation in our industry and their communities, and are recognized for working in partnership with policyholders and carriers," continued Funk. "While there are written premium requirements and profitability targets, it is just as important to be a great business partner."
