One Team -- that's how Dazell Ward, support services manager at AmeriTrust Group, Inc. and her teammates worked through recent business challenges.

"As we navigated unexpected challenges, it was inspiring to see everyone come together with a 'One Team' mindset. We were determined to find solutions and deliver the best service possible. I'm proud to be part of such a dedicated organization." #PeopleFirst #AFGroup

We commemorate the victims, first responders, families and survivors who were affected by the events of September 11, 2001. May their lives, compassion and acts of bravery be remembered always.

The people make the difference. Our teammates find ways to focus on our customers one-on-one no matter what the circumstance. Aaron Bubis, underwriter for Century Insurance Group, has been making phone calls to agents each day to ensure that they hear the latest updates, get questions answered and have the opportunity to provide feedback. "Our agents have been sympathetic, understanding and supportive," he said. "During this hard time, we were willing to stick with them, and they were willing to stick with us." #PeopleFirst #AFGroup
