Maintaining a media presence is an important part of NFIB’s small-business-advocacy efforts. Recently, Colorado State Director Tony Gagliardi was quoted by Colorado Politics and the Denver Business Journal on Pinnacol Assurance’s efforts to separate itself from state control and go private.

Pinnacol is the largest workers’ compensation insurer in Colorado and the one 80% of NFIB members have their policies with. “This time, Pinnacol came to NFIB to explain the new approach. We were impressed with the way they approached, the information they provided, and that they were doing a sincere effort to reach out to all stakeholders,” Gagliardi told Colorado Politics.

Speaking of Pinnacol, NFIB Colorado members were alerted by email about an opportunity to hear from CEO Phil Kalin about the company’s goals. Click here for more information.
