For this reason, we take pride in our regimen of volunteerism. We say thank you every day, in everything we do, by striving to make a positive impact on our communities.

This annual award is given to one agent from the Mountain State Agency Alliance, made up of SIAA agents in West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky, who represents the love and community service spirit that the late William Porter, owner of Ramsey Insurance and founder of Mountain State Agency Alliance, had for his community and fellow man.
Angie has in many ways been the public face of the company in the Elkins area. Look in the concession stand at the ballgame, you might just see Angie. Need a coach for cheerleaders, track or softball? There's Angie. Do the pets at the local animal shelter need some loving attention? Angie will show up with her whole staff for a dog walking day. Blood is the life-giving fluid that is never as available as it should be. So who organizes, advertises and administers four Red Cross Blood Drives every year? Well of course, Angie.
When the local community center needs servers to help out at their numerous fundraising dinners, you'll find Angie. Who coordinated with 8 or 10 other churches to organize a community Easter Egg hunt with over 1500 treat filled eggs and of course snacks and a visit from the Easter Bunny? You know the answer. For years the community knows that Santa will visit Mountaineer Insurances office in Dailey and all are welcome. And for people in need Angie also conducts a Christmas toy drive. This and many more things. She gives of her time, her resources and of her heart.

Perhaps her largest accomplishment, act of caring is this. When a social worker friend was struggling to find a foster home for a very deserving young man Angie searched high and low for someone willing. After much prayer and consideration, talks with her children, and her ever-supportive husband Jonathan she opened her home to this young man. Now he is set to graduate. He played high school football and ran on the track team, and now he is set to join the Air Force after graduating this spring. That act is way beyond simple volunteering. That is an act of complete caring.
