Lisa Johnson, Chief Operating Officer, Encharter Insurance
Encharter Insurance had an excellent year in 2024, and we anticipate that success to continue in 2025. The chal- lenges faced by businesses and consumers due to increasing insurance premi- ums have brought many to our door, seeking alternative options and savings.
Finding the right insurance coverage at an afford- able price has become more challenging than ever. Rising premiums are driven by catastrophic weath- er events across the country, higher repair costs, increased legal expenses, and a greater frequency of claims. Unfortunately, these trends show no signs of slowing down.
In response, we remain dedicated to educating our clients about the realities of the insurance market- place and providing practical advice on how to man- age costs. Our team is investing more time than ever in exploring tailored options for our clients, and this effort is paying off through increased customer loyalty.
The stability of our agency, the wide range of options we can offer, the expertise of our staff, and their unwavering commitment to each customer keep us optimistic about 2025 and beyond.
Emily Leonczyk, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the Markens Group
It looks like 2025 shaping up to be an exciting year for the Markens Group and the associations we serve.
Generational shifts
are at the forefront as we work with our clients to realign their core purposes of balancing the needs of traditional members while
attracting and retaining younger ones. Post-pandemic trends are reshaping meetings and events, driving
a renewed focus on face-to-face engagement. Mean- while, work-from-home dynamics have introduced new styles of digital engagement, which younger members not only embrace, but rely on.
At the Markens Group, we’re committed to help- ing associations thrive through enhanced strategic planning, purpose-driven leadership, and innovative solutions. Whether fostering growth via social-media channels, hosting impactful events, or advancing advocacy efforts, our clients are making meaningful strides. With tailored support in governance, financial management, and marketing, we’re proud to partner with associations to drive success and lasting value.
