Bender Co. "Our next generation of ownership is a blend of both family and non-family talent who are working together for a successful and robust future."

Each year, Capital Insurance Group presents an Agency of the Year award to one agency in each of its regions. CIG Regional Management selects top performing agencies for consideration by the executive team. A committee of CIG executives evaluates and selects an honoree from these top candidates.
