The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group remains a Full Partner of the Broker Identity Program for 2014

The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is pleased to announce that The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group (formerly Farmers’ Mutual) has maintained its support of the Broker Identity Program at the Full Partner level.

The Program’s centre-piece is the BIP symbol known as the BIPPER. The symbol captures the value that insurance brokers bring their clients: choice, coverage, security and peace of mind. By investing in the program, Farmers’ Mutual supports a campaign whose purpose is to raise awareness of the value of the insurance broker distribution network. 

The Commonwell President & CEO Tim Shauf noted:  “We are very pleased to continue our support of brokers as a stronger, combined entity.  We believe independent brokers serve their clients and communities well – two areas that are consistent with our core purpose as a proud Canadian mutual insurer.”

IBAC Chief Executive Officer Dan Danyluk added: “We are delighted that Commonwell is remaining a Full Partner. The support of such a long term insurer is much appreciated.”

Launched 25 years ago, the mission of the Broker Identity Program is to promote the value and professionalism of the insurance broker to consumers, insurers and governments. It is a branding campaign for over 35,000 insurance brokers.
