On February 25, 2021, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed Independent Insurance Agents Day to recognize the valuable contributions of independent insurance agents to businesses, individuals, and the state’s economy.
At Mason-McBride, we are proud to serve our clients as independent insurance agents, offering personalized solutions for commercial insurance, personal coverage, and employee benefits.
Here is how the proclamation reads:
WHEREAS, we join with the Michigan Association of Insurance Agents to applaud the entrepreneurial spirit of Michigan’s independent insurance agents who are small, medium, and large businesses; and,
WHEREAS, independent insurance agents play a critical role in Michigan’s economy by providing quality financial information and guiding individuals, families, and businesses in making important decisions; and,
WHEREAS, independent insurance agents are an integral part of their local communities across the State of Michigan and give back countless dollars and hours through charitable contributions and volunteer efforts; and,
WHEREAS independent insurance agents are insurance sales agents identified as one of Michigan’s Hot 50 high-demand, high-wage careers through 2024;
WHEREAS, independent insurance agents promote the positive image of careers in insurance through working with local high schools and colleges to expose students to careers as insurance agents; and,
WHEREAS, independent insurance agents are a vital part of an industry whose collective economic activity significantly contributes to the Michigan economy;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, do hereby proclaim February 25, 2021, as Independent Insurance Agents Day in Michigan
What is an Independent Insurance Agent?
An independent insurance agent represents multiple insurance carriers, providing clients with a range of coverage options. Unlike captive agents, who are limited to selling policies from a single insurer, independent agents work to match clients with the right coverage from a variety of companies.
This flexibility allows independent agents to adjust coverage as clients’ needs evolve—without requiring them to switch agents.
Why Work with an Independent Insurance Agent?
Choosing an independent agent means working with a professional who prioritizes your needs. Unlike direct insurance carriers, independent agents focus on finding coverage that aligns with your unique risks and budget.
At Mason-McBride, our team brings industry expertise, proactive service, and a client-first approach. Whether you’re looking to protect your business, home, or employees, we help you navigate coverage options and make informed decisions
