When VFIS pioneered specialized insurance for America's emergency service organizations over 50 years ago, our founder, Art Glatfelter, didn't like the idea of traditional satellite offices that were run by people who he didn't know—because he knew it would take a special kind of agency (and people) to deliver the care organizations like yours deserve. 🚒 🚑 📍 So, he spent years looking for partners who truly fit the bill and, when he found them, the Regional Director (RD) system was born—and it remains intact and instrumental to our operations today. Here’s a little recap from our recent “RD Homecoming Week”, where we invited RDs from around the country to visit our Corporate Office in PA so we could have some fun, recognize important causes and, most importantly, strategize how we can continue to best serve the emergency services community—together. 👏

🔔 While the existing research isn’t specific to breast cancer, we do know that firefighters are at an increased risk of being diagnosed with and dying from cancer. 🔔 During Breast Cancer Awareness Month—and all year long—remind all your members (regardless of gender) that the earlier you act, the bigger the impact! In fact, when caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate of breast cancer is 99%. Check out these resources to help educate your team and inspire hope from the National Breast Cancer Foundation: https://hubs.ly/Q02RKsvp0
