IIABNY Honors
Insurers with Outstanding Company Partner Award
Dryden
Mutual was among six New York insurers to receive IIABNY’s 2011
Outstanding Company Partner Award. The awards were presented on January
31st at the association’s annual Capital Event in Albany.
Each
year the awards are given to those companies earning the best individual
and industry scores in the IIABNY Industry Index. The index measures
performance in areas such as underwriter empowerment, ease of use of
technology, honest and fair treatment of agencies and customers,
responsiveness of company personnel, and fairness of compensation
arrangements. It is calculated from bi-annual surveys given to New York
insurance producers.
The
awards are categorized as Best National, Super Regional and Regional
companies in personal and commercial insurance. Bob Baxter, the CEO and
General Manager of Dryden Mutual was pleased to accept the award for
Best Regional insurance company for Personal Lines.
Dryden Mutual Hosts InVEST Students at Syracuse IDay
Dryden Mutual’s
CEO, Bob Baxter, hosted 51 InVEST students and teachers at the 50th
anniversary
event of Syracuse IDay. The event is an annual gathering of Central New
York insurance professionals
and their peers. Because the InVEST’s primary focus is introducing high
school students
to the insurance
industry, Mr. Baxter feels it is the perfect learning experience for the
program’s students.
Students and teachers from Dryden,
Groton, McGraw and
Trumansburg High
 Schools
were in attendance. They attended the morning program featuring CEO of
the Independent Insurance Agents
and Brokers of America, the main luncheon featuring keynote Ben Stein
and manned their very own
InVEST exhibitor’s booth. It was a tremendous experience, not to
mention great time!
Bob Baxter was awarded the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of
America’s 2006 Stephen Dach Company Award by the National InVEST Board
of Directors. The award was recognition of Mr. Baxter’s high school
insurance training work with InVEST in Upstate New York over the past 21
years in Syracuse, Dryden, Groton, Ithaca, Lansing, McGraw and
Trumansburg schools. A.M. Best decided to feature Baxter at Dryden
Mutual in an April 2008 national article in Best’s Review about
insurance recruiting after they found out that 1 out of every 4 of
Dryden’s current full-time employees are local InVEST graduates
