Public entity and education organizations rely on Assurance to protect their interests, improve efficiencies and impact their bottom line.

Assurance delivers comprehensive insurance and loss control services to the toughest risks in the marketplace. Our service platform is constantly evolving and built for businesses that demand more from their broker. Organizations in the public entity and education sectors need a broker to adjust and evolve with the changes in our industry, as well as theirs.

The primary reason so many clients are choosing to leave their current broker and partner with Assurance, is their current broker’s practices have simply grown stale. The traditional approach of just placing insurance is the way of the past and is no longer effective. The highly proactive, personalized and service-centric approach we take with clients is unique in the public entity and education sector, and absolutely critical to success.

Compare Your Insurance Broker with Assurance

We are well aware that public entity and educational institutions are being held increasingly accountable by their stakeholders in how they handle precious tax, tuition and donation dollars. Since insurance premiums constitute a large part of the budget, there is greater accountability on how dollars are administered. A consistent stream of new risk management products, services, and resources are required.

Custom Built Solutions

Public sector businesses need to protect every dollar. Operating expenses need to be minimized to be effective, so more dollars can be spent serving our communities at large. The goal of each service provided to our public sector clients is to improve efficiencies, reduce losses and ultimately, increase profits. We have been successful in achieving these results for our public sector clients for a number of reasons:

  • Each client can count on a team of professionals who understands public sector business risks and is comprised of a client service representative, account manager, risk management advisor, safety consultant and claims advocate among others.
  • Assurance offers expertise in all areas of insurance for our public sector clients including business insurance and employee benefits to provide the most well-rounded, comprehensive risk management program. As an independent brokerage, we offer access to over 300 top-rated insurance carriers, allowing us to provide options our competition simply can’t, as well as extensive experience designing and developing successful alternative risk solutions. 

Professional Expertise

Insurance industry veterans with extensive public entity and educational experience guide our collective efforts. The successful combination of their expertise along with Assurance’s extensive service platform has created a dynamic combination.
