Eryl Christiansen was promoted from president to CEO and president of Eastern Shore Associates Insurance (ESA), at the agency’s annual meeting in April. Thomas Anthis joined the board as a member at large.
Christiansen has been with ESA for 10 years and served as president for the past two years. Christiansen and his wife reside in Fulton.
“I’m excited about our future as an agency,” Christiansen said. “ I have tremendous confidence in the creative, professional, and skilled team here that will take us to even greater heights as we go forward.
“It has always been my focus to provide insurance programs that help secure and protect our clients. This requires building strong relationships with our clients by understanding both their insurance needs and business objectives.”
Anthis, an insurance agent and broker in ESA’s North Syracuse office, has been with ESA for five years and resides in Syracuse with his wife, son and daughter. “It’s my mission to partner with municipal officials, executives and business owners to develop encompassing insurance programs that will help them to mitigate losses through risk management and loss control practices,” he said. “I pride myself on being a responsive, valuable resource to our clients.
“Being a part of ESA’s board means everything to me. It’s an honor to have an opportunity to assist in the growth of the organization’s tremendous foundation. Equally as important is the opportunity to continue to strengthen the relationships with our valued clients.”
Headquartered in Fulton, Eastern Shore Associates is a Trusted Choice® agency and a 100 percent ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) company. ESA works with many of the top regional and national insurance carriers and offers a full range of business and personal insurance, including property, liability, automobile, farm, recreational vehicle, workers compensation, and bonds.
“Other services include commercial risk analysis, loss control, and life insurance,” Christiansen said. “We also meet the insurance needs of many New York municipalities, schools, and emergency services.
“Eastern Shore Associates was founded in 1986 when a group of three smaller independent agencies decided to pool their resources to better serve their customers. The focus was to build ‘big agency’ capabilities while maintaining the ‘small agency’ approach to conducting business by helping their neighbors.
“We desire to be a client-focused agency that is recognized as a trusted insurance advisor in our communities. We value long-lasting relationships with our clients, built on a commitment to excellence, continual improvement and a high standard of customer service. “
