November 10th 2009

At The Alliance’s Connections event in early November, the winners of the 2009 Accellerations sales contest were announced and prizes awarded. Daryl Frantz, Pennsylvania Territory Manager for Selective Insurance (right) and Greg Harrington, Branch Manager for Ohio Casualty, the two Platinum sponsors of Accellerations, helped present the awards.

Brian Buskirk of Zinn Insurance took home the Next Generation Producer of the Year award.

Commercial Lines Producer of the Year honors were awarded to Ryan Amey of Sterner Insurance.

New to Accellerations this year was a drawing for the $4,000 grand prize. Each of the producers who earned the monthly top producer award were entered in the contest, and Ryan, as the top overall producer, earned three chances. When the drawing was complete and the smoke cleared, John Eltringham of Hampson Mowrer Kreitz was left holding the check.

The Alliance Personal Lines Agency of the Year award for 2009 was shared by co-winners Hutchison Insurance and Miers Insurance.

American Insurance Administrators took home The Alliance Commercial Lines Agency of the Year designation for 2009.
