Squaw Valley, California - June 23, 2010 - ICW Group, a super regional property & casualty insurance company, has been named the 2009-2010 "Company of the Year" by the Nevada Independent Insurance Agents (NIIA).

"We are truly proud to win such a prestigious award from the leading insurance organization serving the state of Nevada," said Kevin Prior, president and CEO for ICW Group. "We are especially pleased because the award was voted on by Nevada’s agent and broker constituency."

Formed in 1946, the NIIA is an affiliate of The Independent Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA), and consists of leading insurance agencies, carriers, and industry related service companies throughout the state of Nevada. The NIIA named ICW Group "Company of the Year" at its Annual Convention held June 13-15 in Squaw Valley, CA. The award was based upon ICW Group's unparalleled service and commitment to the association's members.

"At ICW Group, our unique focus is to elevate our agents and brokers in the eyes of their clients," said Prior. "I am particularly proud of how our entire Nevada team, including underwriting, risk management and claims have been recognized for their unwavering dedication to achieving this goal. By continually meeting the needs of our agents and our insureds, we are helping our agents be more successful and delivering upon our company's unique value proposition."

This award comes on the heels of several other prestigious recognitions garnered recently by ICW Group. Earlier this month, the company was named winner of the Property & Casualty Early Adopter Award for XML Transactions at the 2010 ACORD LOMA Insurance System Forum held in Las Vegas, Nevada. In May, Insurance Journal Magazine identified ICW Group as one of 165 "Super Regional Property/Casualty Insurers™" for 2010.
