ELKINS — Allegheny Insurance Senior Producer Kenny George Jr. was recently recognized nationally for being named to the 2022 Marketplace Circle of Champions.

The Marketplace Circle of Champions is a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services program that celebrates the hard work of agents and brokers that help consumers obtain qualified health coverage through the Health Insurance Market.

“We thank Kenny for his dedication to providing exceptional service and helping consumers get the coverage they need,” said Ellen Montz, Director of the Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversight within CMS, which oversees the Marketplace. “Agents and brokers play a key role in educating consumers about their health insurance options and helping expand access to coverage for Americans.”

Each year the Marketplace Circle of Champions program recognizes thousands of agents and brokers across the United States. The award is a highlight of their hard work, expertise and service. Whether it’s helping individuals complete an application, selecting a plan, or managing coverage, agents and brokers play a critical role in the success of the Health Insurance Marketplace.

George, who works exclusively with individual and employee benefits at Allegheny, qualified for the award by actively enrolling 20 or more consumers during this Open Enrollment Period. He has worked with Allegheny Insurance, which is a Division of Blue Ridge Risk Partners, for the past 22 years. This is the third time he has been honored with the award.

“I really enjoy doing what I do, and I look at it more as a service in trying to help folks with whatever we can,” George told The Inter-Mountain. “It’s great to be able to provide help to the community. I absolutely love what I do and I don’t ever think I would change a thing.”

Besides helping people with their needs through Allegheny Insurance, George is also very active in the community. He is on the Board of Directors for the Randolph-Tucker Children’s Advocacy Center, the Elkins YMCA, and the Randolph Rotary Club. George is also an assistant coach for the Elkins Middle School Boys Basketball Team.

Allegheny Insurance is located on Third Street in downtown Elkins. For information call 304-636-1680.
