Courtney Fenske, Acuity’s Arkansas Territory Director, receives the Marketing Representative of Excellence Award from the Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) of Arkansas.
Acuity Insurance announced that it received the Company of Excellence Award from the Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) of Arkansas, and Territory Director Courtney Fenske was named Marketing Representative of Excellence.
The Company of Excellence Award is PIA Arkansas’ highest annual recognition, given to a company that demonstrates true partnership and commitment to independent agents and the agency distribution system.
“In a state in need of carrier options, Acuity showed up and showed out, allowing agents the ability to help clients at a high level. In a state where it would have been easy to get a few months in, experience a few of our storms, and jump ship, Acuity stayed. And when it came time to start paying claims, Acuity fulfilled their promise to customers without hesitation and with ease. They also came in and hired one of Arkansas' best and brightest in Courtney Fenske as Territory Director for the state,” said Holden Smith, PIA Arkansas President and Owner of Lennox Insurance.
Courtney’s selection as Marketing Representative of Excellence recognizes her professionalism, outstanding ability, and support of independent insurance agents.
“Courtney is a true powerhouse in her field. Starting her career on the agency side before transitioning to the carrier side, her ability to see things from both sides of the desk truly makes her an expert in her role,” said Mary Katherine Henderson, President of the PIA Arkansas’ Young Insurance Professionals Board of Directors and Marketing Director of Cross Pointe Insurance Advisors, LLC.
An Arkansas native with over 10 years of industry experience, Courtney began her career as an Account Manager for an independent agency in the state. She transitioned to the carrier side of the business in 2019 and joined Acuity in 2022 in preparation for our entry into Arkansas. Courtney was also named Field Representative of the Year by the Big I Arkansas in 2021.
