Milestone Marks Company’s Legacy of Growth and Service
FCCI Insurance Group, a company dedicated to delivering commercial insurance products to agency partners and policy holders in19 states, kicked off its 60th anniversary celebration on April 3 from its Sarasota headquarters with a live feed to 850 teammates and partners in its regional footprint, featuring keynote speaker, author and leadership coach John C. Maxwell.
In his remarks opening the celebration, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, Craig Johnson recognized FCCI’s teammates and agents throughout the six regions where FCCI does business. “You are responsible for our six-decade landmark success and tremendous growth and the reason we are able to celebrate 60 successful years in the industry,” he said. “Our culture of keeping promises also translates into the focus our teammates have in giving back to the communities we serve.” In 2018 alone, 2,700 volunteer hours have benefited communities across all of the company’s regions.
A career-long dream, Johnson welcomed his admired leadership guru, John C. Maxwell, to share his insights and inspiration with FCCI’s team. According to Johnson, one of his favorite books is Maxwell’s “21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership,” noting it has fueled his own personal and business growth. Maxwell’s hour-long conversation at the celebration addressed key points from his latest book, “Leadershift: The 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace.”
In celebration, Johnson reaffirmed his excitement about where the company is headed. “We are fortunate to be viewed with great respect in the industry. From being the first to integrate risk control and nurse case managers into services offered to agents and policyholders, to developing Risk Management & Insurance curriculum at the university level to ensure a vibrant recruitment pipeline, along with FCCI’s in-house School of Excellence program, we will continue to advance innovative approaches to our business model while staying true to our history of keeping promises, and doing what we say we will do.”
