Our office many times has employee pets if you look closely. This is Brian's Dog Britney keeping a watchful eye out for the pretzels Brian keeps under his desk. LOL

Brian was recognized for being a 2017 New York State Agent Advocate for Farmers Insurance. In this role Brian was one of eight agent representatives to meet quarterly with senior Farmers Management and discuss state wide issues and opportunities for Farmers and the Agents at large.

Approximately 30 Farmers Agents and Employees participated in our Legislative Action Day in Albany. Those in attendance participated in a reception at the Fort Orange Club, the evening prior to the event. The reception was widely attended by legislators. During the formal event, participants heard from our top insurance legislative leaders including the Senate Chairman of the Insurance Committee, James Seward and the Assembly Chairman of the Insurance Committee Kevin Cahill. Those in attendance learned about our industry's most pressing issues and had an opportunity to visit the New York State Capitol to ask questions of key legislators while they are in the midst of making laws that have real consequences for our customers.

Special thanks to State Director David Lamorte for all of his teamwork and for driving attendance for this event. Special thanks to Tomas Hyman for documenting our visit so well for all to see in our Political Action Committee Newsletter dated April 2017.

Below is a picture of part of the Farmers Team in between legislative visits at the State Capitol. The picture was taken on the Million Dollar Staircase which took an unheard of 14 years to construct, from 1883-1897.
