What our members are saying:

I have always been proud to be a member of Big I NY but never prouder than I am now. You all have done a fantastic job of supporting your members during this challenging period. Between the industry specific guidance and information you made available to assist small business owners – you prepared us well to face the challenges.

- Russell, Grant, Smith & Dassler, Inc.

Using your information and research, we were able to get the company to reverse their position in favor of our client. This is such a great story of the value of being a Big I NY Member which gives the retail independent agent the opportunity to prove their value when needed the most.
- Brendan, Thousand Islands Agency

Please thank everyone in your office for the excellent template and the great work on getting the authorization to use email for the Covid-19 notices. I actually sent out all the notices yesterday (a 12 hour day) and got a lot of very positive feedback. As usual you have made us look very professional.
- Bennett , Brodie & Brodie LLC

I use Big I NY almost exclusively for stand-alone umbrella and I also have my E&O with you which contains some added enhancements for Big I members. I also use the Virtual University frequently to research issues, and when I send questions to Tim Dodge he always finds the answers for me.
- Steve, Ferrar Insurance Agency, Inc.

As always, Big I NY is a leader in helping agencies of all sizes with a multitude of issues - a truly valuable resource!
