CLEVELAND, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, FCCI Insurance Group is pleased to report that it is paying a dividend – for the 2018 program year – based on favorable results for its Contractors Select^SM program with the three Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) chapters of Ohio: Central Ohio, Northern Ohio and Ohio Valley.

"We are excited to share and celebrate a successful program year with this first-ever dividend payout."

"While ABC is known for many services—from government affairs to skilled trades training—we are fundamentally in the business of creating value for our members as they run their businesses," said Ryan Martin, president/CEO of ABC, Northern Ohio chapter. "FCCI has proven to be a pivotal partner to ABC and the demonstrable proof of that is in the one-of-a-kind insurance program for ABC members in Ohio. This exclusive program will generate a tangible, bottom-line value this year through the issuance of a dividend. It's precisely the type of service ABC strives to offer and FCCI has made that possible."
