Any business with employees has some level of employment-related exposure. Claims involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, failure to promote, wage-and-hour disputes, and other workplace allegations can be costly to defend. That’s why it can be particularly pertinent to keep Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) front and center in conversations with clients.

Swipe for a few talking points to keep in mind.

We hope you found this helpful as you talk to clients about what EPLI can look like for their business.
Additionally, if you would like help discussing EPLI options, limits, or placement strategy for your clients or have any other needs we can help with, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.

Labor Day is all about celebrating the workforce, and the best way to honor hard work is to take a real break from it. So to celebrate, our team is fully committing to the cause by penciling some cat naps into our schedules this weekend.

A quick heads-up: The office is closed on Monday, September 7th. We will be back on Tuesday, September 8th — recharged, refreshed, and ready to get to work.

We hope you have a long weekend full of good food, good company, and zero emails!

In Loving Memory of Gene Ender (July 8, 2026) 🕊️

We are deeply saddened by the passing of industry leader, entrepreneur, and mentor Gene Ender.

Gene dedicated decades to the insurance industry—from his early days at Foremost Insurance Company to founding American Insurance Markets and Texas All Risk General Agency, as well as his brokerage in Mineral Wells, Texas.

Beyond his career achievements, Gene was a treasured mentor to many, including his nephew Bruce Hart (President of Professional Insurance Executives / SPG Wholesale, LLC). He will be remembered fondly for his practical wisdom, his generosity, and his love for the outdoors, baseball, westerns, and time at his New Mexico cabin.

Our thoughts are with his wife Jeanette, his son Steve, his stepdaughter Christi, and all of his family and friends.

📍 Memorial Service Information:

When: Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 10:00 AM (9:30 AM Rosary)
Where: Our Lady of Lourdes Church — 108 NW Ave, Mineral Wells, TX 76067

Gene will be remembered with gratitude, respect, and affection by all who knew him.

From hurricanes, floods, and wildfires to hail, tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms, weather-related losses continue to shape underwriting decisions across the country. As a result, agents are running into tighter carrier appetites, higher deductibles, reduced limits, added exclusions, and more scrutiny on risks that may have been easier to place in prior years.

Some of the coverages feeling this pressure most often include:

🔵 Homeowners and dwelling property in catastrophe-exposed areas
🔵 Commercial property, especially for habitational, real estate, and other weather-sensitive risks
🔵 Flood, wind, and hail-driven placements
🔵 Builder’s risk for projects with higher natural catastrophe exposure
🔵 Higher excess layers on property programs in storm-prone regions

This is where a strong wholesale partner can make a real difference. When a risk becomes more complex, our role is to help you find a path forward by bringing additional market access, specialized underwriting insight, and creative structuring options to the table.

Whether you need help with a difficult submission, a renewal that is coming back with challenges, or an account that no longer fits the market, I am here to help you find solutions quickly. Give me a call today, and we can get started

This July, we’re not just celebrating Independence Day — we’re also celebrating 250 years as a nation, a truly once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Our team wishes each of you a happy, safe, and memorable Fourth of July!

Please note that our office is closed on Friday, July 3rd. We’ll be back on Monday, July 6th, ready to assist with any early summer questions or needs.

If there is one thing worth celebrating, it’s knowing that when life gets unpredictable, you are not facing it alone.

That is exactly why we do what we do, and clients like you make it all worthwhile. So, this National Insurance Day, we want to thank you for trusting us with your insurance needs.

As always, if you have any questions or needs, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We are here to help you!
