Safety Dividend Paying Insurance Program

REMINDER - Register to Attend Your Local Membership Luncheon & Roundtable Session

$100 Visa Gift Card Up for Grabs on MBI's Facebook Page!

We want to remind our members to speak to your insurance agent about the insurance program that is available through United Fire Group (UFG). UFG has written and issued over 140 policies to MBI members and Construction Update Network subscribers, with over $6,311,000 written premium in the program as of June 1, 2017. Contractors insured in the program are eligible to earn a safety group dividend for their property and casualty lines of insurance (excluding workers compensation).

All accounts are underwritten on their own merit with specific qualification guidelines. This allows UFG to protect the integrity of the safety group dividend, which can yield better results for contractors.

If you are interested in applying for this insurance program, contact your independent UFG insurance agent and let them know you would like to be considered for the program.

To locate an independent UFG insurance agent near you, visit UFG's Find an Agent locator tool at www.ufgInsurance.com .

All membership meetings are scheduled from 12:00 - 1:00 pm and are free for MBI members to attend!

New in 2017, Construction Roundtables will be held following each membership luncheon from 1:30 - 3:30 pm.
