Shocked, surprised, overwhelmed and totally proud would be a great way to describe how NCM Insurance Agent, Adam Boca felt on the evening of American Modern Insurance Group’s annual Power of Partnership Awards Banquet. Held in Cincinnati, Ohio on June, 14, 2012, the event hosted the top movers and shakers for American Modern Insurance Group, and the NCM Insurance Agency was invited to be a part of the festivities.



Unaware of any award to be presented, Adam was invited to dine for the evening at a reserved table consisting of owners, presidents and CEO’s of not only American Modern Insurance Group, but top executives in the business world. “I knew something special was happening when I was asked to take a seat among these special industry icons,” Adam shared when he returned to the NCM.



During the evening’s festivities it became pretty obvious to Adam that the seating arrangement had a special purpose. The announcement began by naming some very unique accomplishments of the NCM Insurance Agency:

• New agency that started up in mid-year 2009.
• Building all new business, one customer at a time.
• After only two calendar years of “in full swing” business – already a top 5 new business producer of American Modern’s collector vehicle premium nationally.
• Average premium is close to twice AMIG’s company average.
• Nearly 100% growth rate in 2011.
• Consistently profitable, YTD Loss Ratio of just 9%.
• Located inside the National Corvette Museum.

Adam and the NCM Insurance Agency were presented at the kick off of the ceremony with the “Rookie of the Year” Award in honor of the hard work and achievements of the agency by Michael Whitehead, Vice President of Agency Operations at American Modern Insurance Group.  If you ask Adam how he feels about the award, he will humbly admit that “we could not do it without the support and dedication of the hard working team at American Modern Insurance Group” – underwriters for the National Corvette Museum’s Insurance Program. “We have amazing customers that we are honored to serve, an awesome team of agents and staff at American Modern and the best job at the National Corvette Museum. We look forward to continuing to serve to the best of our ability and hope to meet and talk with other collector car owners as word continues to spread about the NCM Insurance Agency.”

We have been speaking with several of our friends in Colorado and New Mexico today who have collector cars protected through the National Corvette Museum’s Insurance Program. Our thoughts go out to residents in Colorado and New Mexico, as wildfires are within close proximity of damaging and destroying their homes and property. Although we are unable to increase coverage or lower deductibles on existing policies – we do have a plan in place to help make this stressful time a bit more manageable with regards to their prized collector cars.



For NCM Insurance customers who are in the path of these fierce wildfires, we have made available relocation expense reimbursement that provides reimbursement for 50% of the temporary relocation costs when moving NCM Insured collector cars to a safer location, subject to a maximum of $200 per collector car and $2,500 per policy.
 

Our top priority is offering personal attention to the needs of our customers – in all situations – good and bad. We hope you will let us take a hand in helping if you are insured in either of these disaster areas – after all, that is our job. We don’t just talk about what we can do – we make it happen. NCM Member Holt Davis was attending an event at the Museum in April of 2011, when he was notified that a wildfire started near his house causing severe damage to some of his collectible cars. “I was extremely pleased with the way the claim was handled by Adam and the NCM Insurance Program,” Holt shared with us on his trip back to the Museum in September. “I received a full check via Fed-Ex following the claim and could not have asked for any better process.” View a snapshot of Holt’s story via video on location at the National Corvette Museum here: http://www.ncminsurance.com/wildfire-claims-2-corvette-see-how-it-was-handled.html
