On June 18th, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern recognized Hagerty Insurance Company of Traverse City as one of five finalists for the Corporate Community Leader Award. The Governor’s Service Awards are given annually to individuals, businesses, and organizations to acknowledge their commitment to serving their communities through volunteerism.
Hagerty Insurance Company of Traverse City has been giving back to the Grand Traverse region through volunteerism and philanthropic support since the agency began 40 years ago. The Hagerty family, as business leaders, have supported and strengthened the missions of civic organizations such as Northwestern Michigan College and the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce. Recently, the agency donated land to Traverse City and the State of Michigan to create a parking deck in the Old Towne district of the City of Traverse City where Hagerty is headquartered. Hagerty’s corporate social responsibility is three-dimensional; corporate giving to promote the professional development, health, well-being, and lifetime fitness of the people of the Grand Traverse area community and its employees; promotion of the collector hobbyist through the Collectors Foundation; and its employee volunteer program, Hagerty Cares, which assists the agency’s 400 employees in finding their passion for service through more than 300 area nonprofit organizations. Since 2000, Hagerty has provided paid time off for community service to its employees, allowing them to use 16 hours each year.
A celebration was hosted by Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern to pay tribute to finalists, including the award winner, in each of the eight categories that demonstrate the diverse nature of volunteers throughout the state. The event was held June 18th, at the Governor’s Lansing Residence.
