Rossbacher Insurance Group celebrated a company milestone of 96 years in business in 2024. The agency with offices in Cranberry, Corry and North East has a long-standing reputation of providing exceptional insurance protection and excellence in service and claim handling, while delivering insurance programs that are customized to their client’s needs and risk management objectives.
Celebrations and milestones
In 2024, Team Rossbacher celebrated a special milestone of ten years at their current Cranberry location on Route 322. The team members at that location include Jeannie Henry, Chad Ellis, Sharon Feltenberger, Tawyna Resinger, Nick Gammello, Valerie Drozdo and Christina Sterner.
Expansion project
This year, the team oversaw a major expansion project of their office space which included: new cubicle areas and offices for agents, dedicated office space for partners and Medicare professionals, and a new conference room to meet with clients for annual reviews. This expansion project reflects Rossbacher’s ongoing dedication and future commitment to the Venango County community.
Rossbacher worked with local construction companies to oversee the project which took a little over four months to complete. Jeannie Henry, branch manager of the Cranberry office, said “The new office space allows our team to work more collaboratively in one location. We feel this aligns with our core values and commitment to best practices.”
Team Rossbacher also continues to expand on their staff, adding a new member to the Corry office in 2024. Claire Brigham joined the team in July as a personal lines and life insurance advisor. Claire comes to Team Rossbacher with a strong background in customer service, spending the last several years in the healthcare industry.
In 2025, three members of the Cranberry team will celebrate their 10-year anniversary with Rossbacher. Jeannie Henry, Chad Ellis and Tawyna Resinger joined the team shortly after Rossbacher acquired the Seneca Insurance Agency in 2014. Since that time, they have reached milestones in their careers. Jeannie Henry now serves as branch manager and has obtained CISR and CIC designations. Chad Ellis serves as a personal and commercial lines account manager and has also obtained a CIC designation.
Rossbacher continuing education approach
Rossbacher’s commitment to best practices includes investing in a continuing education plan for each employee to further their insurance knowledge and professional development. Team members complete advanced certification training programs to earn prestigious insurance designations.
In 2024, Janet Monn obtained a CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) designation, one of the highest achievements an insurance professional can earn. Certified Insurance Counselors are recognized for their expertise and commitment to the industry. To earn this designation, they must successfully pass five exams within a five-year period on all major fields of commercial casualty and property, personal residential and auto, life and health, risk management, and agency operations. Rossbacher agents who also hold this prestigious designation include Brad Allen, J.T. Colwell, Scott Fogle, Nicole Crawford, Jeannie Henry and Chad Ellis.
Community support and giving back
One of the core values of Team Rossbacher is “Impacting our local communities through volunteerism and charitable giving.” Rossbacher puts this in practice by empowering employees to give back to the communities we live and work in. In 2024, the Venango team volunteered or served on committees or boards of the following organizations: Oil Region Alliance Board, Venango Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation Board, The Scenic Rivers YMCA Board, Cranberry Fireworks, Franklin Rotary, Franklin Water Authority, Northwest Hospital Foundation Board and the Venango Chorus.
Team Rossbacher furthered their commitment to charitable giving by providing financial assistance to over 100 local nonprofit organizations. From youth sport booster clubs to large groups aiding in fighting hunger, Team Rossbacher believes in supporting local nonprofits and their efforts to positively impact their communities.
In 2024, Rossbacher achieved another company milestone by donating over 75,000 bottles of water since 2017 to local organizations. These organizations are then able to sell the bottles for 100% profit as a fundraiser. In 2025, Team Rossbacher will give out their 100,000th water bottle. That is a fundraising potential of over $150,000 to support local community initiatives.
Moving forward in 2025
Rossbacher plans for 2025 will be to continue to honor their predecessor, John Rossbacher’s, motto of P.S. — “Personal Service since 1928!” The agency is looking forward to quality growth through exceptional insurance protection, excellence in claim handling and service, and evaluating the insurance needs of those who have instilled their trust and confidence in our team.
Brad Allen, president of Rossbacher Insurance, says, “We’re very proud of our team consistently earning the trust of new clients and working to protect our families with life insurance. It truly demonstrates our team’s commitment to quality service, valuable protection, and competitive products.”
Rossbacher Insurance Group has specialized in personal and commercial insurance since 1928.
