Overview
The Background...
With careers focused in the public sector and the like, our hearts are truly in this.
Jodie was an underwriter in governmental risk pooling (CSDSIP & CIRSA) for almost 9 years before joining the private sector in 2019. Working for a high volume/high turnover work comp focused insurance brokerage which seemed to focus solely on "the close," she knew there was a better way to merge the client care and support she held dearly from risk pooling with savings opportunity found in the open markets. Ascent was launched in March of 2021 and we've had great success in the build-out while helping entities of all sizes and types with their specialty insurance risks!
Georgia has been a Risk Manager in school districts large and small for many years and she understands the challenges in getting a partnership feel and support with brokers who truly understand the needs of schools. She has been gracious to lend her support to our mission around her busy schedule.

We have relationships developed with Pinnacol and other top competitors, bringing the utmost in savings to our public sector client base without sacrificing service. Each insurance carrier brings their own value and part of our process is to show you competing offers. We strive to help you make the decision on what insurance carrier and program is best for your entity instead of who is paying us the most.
We also have options for self-insured, high deductible programs, and TPA's.

Some high pressure/high volume agencies will tell you that nobody is ever involved with claims or has access to claims assistance. Baloney....
We have been known to pick up new clients when they have claims and can't reach their agent, but when an injury occurs, not only are we notified but there are teams of professionals available in:
Nurse Triage
Case Management
Cost Control
Return to Work
We work along WITH our clients and insurance carrier pros in effort to help bring amiable and swift resolution and we work with carriers who have public sector specialty divisions.

Super easy! If you have your insurance through a carrier we already work with, we can easily get to work by way of a broker of record letter. We then get to advocating for you in the renewal process as well as pulling information needed to check competing markets.
If you simply want to check competing markets, we can get started with a declarations page for preliminary review & market comparison.
For official quotes from competitors, we would also need:
- 5 years of loss runs (claims report)
- NCCI Experience modification report (for workers' compensation quoting)
We have streamlined methods to help gather this with your approval if it's too cumbersome to pull the information.
We know you wear many hats!
