To mark the 20th anniversary at Diversified Insurance, we wanted to give back to the community that has given us so much. To do that, we picked a different service organization for each month of the year. We wanted to pick a wide variety of organizations that are doing impactful things in the community. Looking back on 2021, it was a very meaningful way for us an organization to celebrate this milestone. We were able to learn more about why Utah is such a wonderful place to be headquartered and feel like we were part of this great community.
Here is an overview of the service organizations we worked with throughout the year:
