For the Third Year, AGIS Forgoes Client Gifts, Donates to Local Charities

WINTER PARK, Fla., November 24, 2009 —AGIS, a full-service insurance agency with offices in Florida, Indiana and Michigan, will continue the company’s tradition of charitable holiday giving for a third consecutive year as part of AGIS’s yearlong commitment to local nonprofit support. Instead of distributing the traditional holiday gifts to its client roster in a seasonal rite of corporate gratitude, AGIS will donate those funds to several charities within the local communities served by the company’s five offices.

In 2009, AGIS launched a company-wide Community Outreach Program, encouraging employees in each office to become involved in a nonprofit organization of his or her choice. The company is providing employees with the time and financial resources necessary to make a difference in the local community.

“With the current state of the economy, it is more important than ever to support the local charities and nonprofit organizations that help our communities,” said Herr, national president of AGIS. “This year we decided that, in addition to our holiday giving tradition, we would implement the Community Outreach Program, encouraging our employees to help several organizations with both donated time and financial support. Thus far, it has been widely embraced throughout our five offices in Michigan, Florida and Indiana.”

“All of the local organizations we partner with are critical to health and wellness of our local communities. They need the support of the communities they serve, and we anticipate that our clients and associates will appreciate our decision to act as responsible corporate citizens.”

Herr noted that she hopes that this is a trend that will catch on with other corporate citizens who are in a position to help where help is needed most.
