PIACT, CTYIP honor Connecticut insurance pros

The Professional Insurance Agents of Connecticut (PIACT) and its affiliated organization the Connecticut Young Insurance Professionals (CTYIP) have announced several awards for Connecticut insurance professionals. The awards were distributed at last week’s CTYIP industry-wide Golden Gala Awards Night at Fantasia, held in North Haven, Conn. PIACT named Michael Sabo Company Person of the Year. The award is given to an insurance professional who fosters a strong working relationship with agents and brokers and exemplifies a commitment to professionalism and service. Sabo is a senior agency executive for Great American, and has more than 30 years of industry experience. “Our members have grown to recognize Mike as a person who has a strong working relationship between his company and their agencies,” said Mark Connelly, president of PIACT. “His commitment to the independent agency system is evident in the relationships he’s developed during his career. I am pleased to present him with this award.”
