The new collaboration will take effect on January 1, 2025, and will see Distinguished consolidating its Crime, D&O, and Package coverages under a single carrier.
The move aims to streamline processes for brokers working with community associations by simplifying the insurance offerings into one package.
“This expanded partnership with Berkley highlights our commitment to remaining at the forefront of community associations insurance,” said Barbara Bartson, President of Distinguished’s Community Associations program. “By consolidating our D&O, Crime, and Package coverages with one carrier, we’re making it easier for brokers to do business with us, while maintaining the high standards of service, expertise, and innovation that define our program.”
The partnership underscores the growing importance of specialised insurance solutions within the community association sector, and the joint efforts of Distinguished and Berkley Program Specialists will help enhance service delivery for brokers and their clients.
Greg Douglas, President of Berkley Program Specialists, echoed this sentiment. “Distinguished has been an outstanding partner, and this expanded collaboration enables us to better serve brokers in the community association sector.”
He added “Together, our combined expertise ensures brokers can offer tailored, top-tier solutions backed by two industry leaders.”
