During the second week of May 2018, the Big I NY held their Annual Business Meeting at the Westin in Buffalo, NY.  Those in attendance had the opportunity to connect with peers and company representatives, honor award recipients, and learn more about Big I New York’s progress and goals.

Many insurance professionals were honored for work in the industry. Lawley’s own Monica Skibickyj was awarded the 2018 ACSR of the Year.  The award acknowledges the crucial value that customer service representatives bring to the independent agency system and the customers they serve.

The Independent Insurance Agents Association of WNY (IIAAWNY) was also awarded Big I NY’s 2018 Local Association of the Year. This award recognizes outstanding effort and accomplishment in the areas of enhancing the image of independent agents, outstanding local association meetings, legislative advocacy, and public relations.

Both Ashley Engl and Mark O’Brien from Lawley have served on the board of IIAAWNY since 2015. Engl is the current Treasurer and O’Brien is a Director.
