Funds donated by the Eden Prairie Office - In 1993, the executive director of Hospitality House Youth Development (HHYD) created Christmas With Dignity. This unique shopping experience is for parent/guardian who is economically disadvantaged who find themselves unable to afford to buy Christmas presents for their children. The parent or guardian will have the pleasure of shopping and giving their children new gifts at prices they can afford. This allows the children to see their parent/guardian as a provider, and at the same time, the family is strengthened.

Ashley is always so helpful whenever I have a question or don't know how to use a program. She takes the time to explain the technology that we use in terms that I can understand and she is very patient. For example, I have been using Roboform since I started working here in 2019 but really had no idea how to use it efficiently until my conversations with her during Cyber Awareness Month just recently. I have drastically improved my Cyber Score to help protect the Company!  Thanks, Ashley!

Cam has been an extremely valuable mentor and teammate as I moved into a complex book of micromobility. He is always willing to stop what he's doing to help me out, no matter how big the task at hand is. I’ve learned so much from him as he’s extremely efficient, intelligent, professional, and kind. Recently I had to step away from work for an unexpected extended time, and on top of his very busy work load he managed to keep things moving. I’m so grateful to have a team member as talented as him!

I want to celebrate my Cam, for an extraordinary year of achievements!

He has not only met every goal but has surpassed them with remarkable dedication and talent. Watching his growth has been truly inspiring, and I couldn't be more proud. Cam has set a new standard of excellence, and his contributions have made a lasting impact on our team. Here's to everything you've achieved this year and to all the incredible things still ahead!!

From day one, she has fit in seamlessly, tackling every challenge with enthusiasm and going above and beyond to contribute to our goals. Kate consistently pushes herself to improve and take on new challenges, which has inspired all of us to do the same. It's rare to find some who integrates so effortlessly and makes such a positive impact. We're fortunate to have her on our team; but even more fortunate to have her as a friend!

I'd like to recognize Tony for being not only an incredible mentor but also a true leader and friend. He has been a cornerstore of my professional growth, guiding me through challenges and celebrating successes along the way.

Thank you Tony for the invaluable support and belief in my potential. I'm so grateful for you!

In the short time that I have known Amy she has shown incredible support and genuine interested in her peers, including me.  She has an obvious thirst for knowledge and desire to grow professionally.  

She recently gave up some of her own time to grow together.  I invited Amy to a Women's Leadership event out of office time.  She was completely unaware that I was more than just an attendee. As we talked before the event, her encouragement and support really stood out. I was impressed by her commitment to personal growth and her desire to connect with other women in the industry, while showing kindness and genuine interest.  Thank you, Amy for joining me for this networking event and for representing CG at this event of over 100 industry women!  I appreciate you!

With our movement into the Wisconsin market, Vince has been a great help in getting some "new to CG" clients onboard, marketed, renewed and implemented well ahead of schedule and very successfully.   Many of these relationships have known me for a long time, and we have exceeded their expectations and they now know why CG is a special place.   This is all thanks to Vince running quarterback on these clients.

I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Emily.  She's done a great job backing me up recently when I've been gone, and she even proposed and bound a new business account while I was out.  She's a great team player and is always happy to help out when asked without any complaints.

Jennifer has been a huge asset on my team always willing to help where she can. She's learning and improving everyday! She helped with a very complicated billing issue on one of my accounts and was able to get it resolved leaving the Insured very happy. Don't know what I would do without her. Thanks Jennifer!

Laura and I have been working together on event planning, and I can’t say enough about her incredible organizational skills. She not only follows through on every detail but also has a talent for translating her ideas into actionable plans and her visions to paper. Our success wouldn’t be possible without her support. Laura treats our entire team as her clients, approaching her work with grace and a calm demeanor, always ready to tackle challenges collaboratively. I appreciate you, Laura!

Brandon has stepped up to lead the Charity Bags Tournament and has done a fantastic job communicating and keeping it going during a very busy month.

He’s a true team player, and we are so fortunate to have him on the Charity Committee and at CG!

When a neighbor needs help, Minnesotans pitch in. We don’t give it a second thought. There are people who could use a little help right now, and right here in the neighborhood we call Central Minnesota. Some are students who need learning assistance and mentorship. Others are parents struggling to provide healthy food and a safe environment for their families. Helping them is what we do at United Way of Central Minnesota. Change doesn’t happen alone.

Brittany has taught me so much within the last year since I joined our complex micromobility book. My questions are endless and from day one she has always taken the time to explain my questions in detail. Not only have I been able to understand the task at hand, but she explains how the coverage applies behind the scenes. She's so intelligent and has a wealth of knowledge including unique agency bill scenarios, and I’m so lucky to be working with her directly and learning so much along the way. Working in the non-admitted market, nothing is straightforward/ A-B, and she has shown so much resilience. Brittany is an amazing coworker and friend to have and I'm so grateful!

In the short time Irene has been at CG, she has made a huge impact!  Building and maintaining carrier relationships, marketing new and renewal accounts, assisting the marketing department, and being a Manager!  She does so much for everyone with a great attitude and smile on her face.

Barbie came into CG ready to rock and roll!  I appreciate how willing she has been to jump into things, info share, do research, tag team on clients, accounts and all the things that make work fun.  She is energetic, passionate and clearly wants to deliver an excellent product to our producers, service with hospitality and proud of her work product at the end of the day.  Barbie is an excellent addition to our CG team as we all continue to level up in this marketplace.  I appreciate her!

New business submissions have been flowing in at a steady pace and Gail has does an amazing job keeping up with the volume and works hard to meet the need by dates so that I can get them out to the markets.  Gail is a huge asset to the marketing team and I know, I for one, could not do my job if it weren't for her help on the onset of setting up the applications and then again on the backside updating applications with all the necessary changes that took place during the marketing process so that they are ready for the team to work with. Thanks Gail for being so good at your job and helping me daily!!!!   I appreciate you.

Kyle has spent months working with his team to build an airtable that will streamline the data collection of our CG Group Home program. He and his team( Becca Rockwell & Tom Broback) have converted my "beast"of an excel spreadsheet which included12 yrs of data into a much easier format. The new format gives me the ability to pull different types of reports, allow clients to submit their estimated annual payrolls directly into the system and eventually producers will have access that they can review data for discussions with their clients during the course of the year. This was not small feat and will save me HOURS of time as I work on the renewal. THANK YOU!!!
