This weekend was a big ONE for SSIA…
Surprise… Coastal Alabama Business Chamber
Friday morning started off with a boom, and we aren’t referring to the thunderstorm. The SSIA team started their day at the First Friday Forum breakfast hosted at LuLu’s. Team SSIA didn’t know that they were in for their first treat of the day, as one of their own would assist in the reveal of the freshly branded Coastal Alabama Business Chamber. As the brand was revealed, selected members of the chamber stood flash mob style making powerful statements starting with, “I AM” stating the many inherent qualities of the chamber’s members and services. Before an eruption of applause, SSIA’s Director of First Impressions, Anne Norton, stood as the grand finale enthusiastically stated, “I AM THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS.” What a way to start the day!

One Year Later, That’s A Lot of Oysters
After Breakfast, the SSIA team headed back to the office. Opening the office that morning meant a little something more than just being a Friday. Friday marked SSIA’s one-year anniversary of officially opening its doors for business. The Mobile Bay Oyster Gardening Program honored SSIA with a plaque naming them as Sponsors. The latest contribution will support 76 gardens that will generate an estimated 57,375 oysters for restoration over the next three years; bringing SSIA’s total to an estimated 71,250 oysters produced over 3 years for restoration. A portion of every homeowner’s policy sold by SSIA is donated to the Mobile Bay Oyster Gardening Program. All of this was celebrated with a lunch (not oysters) where the ladies in the Red Hats serenaded team SSIA.
HOT SHOT = TOP GUN
While most of us were enjoying the lovely fall weekend on Saturday morning, SSIA’s President, Taylor Norton, had only one thing in mind. Taylor and his team compiled of local businessmen were competing in the Experienced Class of Gulf Shores Kiwanis Club Clay Shoot in Perdido, AL. The goal was easy, blow the competition away. So after 100 shots, Taylor, only missing eight clays (92% hit ratio), hauled away the trophy for Top Kiawanian. His team was obviously just as talented as they also brought home the Top Team Award for the Experienced Class.
With all that being said, your insurance team at SSIA would like to thank you; our customers, our families, and our friends for making it all possible. Happy One-Year Anniversary SSIA!
