AP Murray

AP Murray is proud to announce that we are now part of the AssuredPartners team. After joining the company in January 2021, we are taking steps to rebrand allowing us to better align and allocate our national resources to our local clients. While this change means we now have national resources available, we still operate locally offering the personal touch that you have grown accustomed to. As part of this name change, we will be transitioning to the AssuredPartners company page. Be sure to ‘+Follow’ our new page for future updates. We are committed to providing Power through Partnership.

Last Thursday we celebrated Doug Dvorchak and Suzanne Sollenberger as they get ready to retire. Doug has been with the company for 30 years and Suzanne has been with the company for 38 years. What a mark these two will leave on the organization and the culture as a whole! We thank them tremendously for all they have done and wish them all the best in their next adventure.

It was all treats from our AP Murray team - Jody Rapp, Nikol Hall, and Kathryn Reeser (not pictured) along with her daughter, Josephine at a recent Truck or Treat event at StoneRidge Retirement Living Communities in Myerstown PA last Monday October 28th. In addition to the outside treats, residents inside participated in a candy walk handing out candy to over 300 children that came through the Community. A fun night for all on a gorgeous fall evening!
