Franklin Mutual Insurance Group receives Community Service award from PIANJ

TRENTON, N.J.—The Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey awarded Franklin Mutual Insurance Group, of Branchville, N.J., with the association’s Community Service award during the association’s Annual Conference at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City. Lisa Glesias accepted the award on behalf of Franklin Mutual Insurance Group.

Franklin Mutual Insurance Group was honored because the company fosters a culture of volunteerism and charity by supporting staff as they participate in community activities. Among the many activities, FMI is a major supporter of Special Olympics New Jersey with its participation in the New Jersey Young Insurance Professionals Fun Run, held each year at the annual conference. To date, the NJYIP Fun Run has raised more than $3.8 million for SONJ.

“The welcoming to our company website says ‘We hope that the communities we live in and serve will be better for us having been there,’” said Brian Lytwynec, president and CEO of Franklin Mutual Insurance Group. “Being recognized by The Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey as the winner of PIANJ’s 2018 Community Service award is an honor we are truly proud of. It is, perhaps, one indicator that we are fulfilling, in a very real way, through the efforts and works of our team members, our desire to have a positive impact on those around us.”
