USI Insurance Services Honors Summit Winners During Annual Event

VALHALLA, N.Y., April 7, 2014 - USI Insurance Services ("USI") honored Summit winners across the country during its annual celebration held at the Company’s headquarters in Valhalla, New York. As a Summit recipient, USI is recognizing the best of the best where, out of more than 4,000 associates nationwide, the top 20 percent across the Company were selected for this distinction in 2013. The winners who are located in USI’s Valhalla office are: Michelle Diaz, Benjamin Gober, Kathryn Kelly, Omar Lopez, Jackelyn Melia, Roxana Ramos, Jeffrey Silver and Jason Smith.  Kelly, Melia, Ramos, Silver and Smith are two-time Summit winners, having also earned this award in 2012.

Michael J. Sicard, USI’s chairman, president and CEO, said, “Our Summit winners are the definition of dedication and passion, and capture the spirit of what this special awards program is all about. Each winner exemplifies professionalism, expertise and out of the box thinking when solving issues, and plays a key part in USI’s national leadership in the U.S. middle market and select specialty markets. We are proud to have them as members of the USI family.”

The USI Summit Awards were created in 2011 as reward and recognition for USI’s associates country-wide who serve both internal and external clients. It was the first of its kind at USI and unique for the insurance brokerage industry. The “Summit Experience” includes company-wide recognition, local office celebrations, and a “special” off site day planned for the winners that is well-deserved and in recognition of how they go above and beyond each day in their jobs. In addition, the top five percent of Summit winners earn an additional cash incentive.
