When Reuben Neckerman founded The Neckerman Agency in 1914, it was important to him to give back to the community.  96 years later, that community commitment is still a strong part of our company.

We strive to be leading citizens and by doing so, we support a variety of organizations by sponsorship and volunteering.  Many of our employees serve on committees and boards of directors for organizations throughout the community.
