It was a year ago, May 1, that we combined with Nationwide, said Browne during the event. In that year, we experienced one of our best years for growth in our recent history. We strengthened our agency relationships by bringing them new products while maintaining our commitment to service. And weve invested in our associates with tools and resources to help them do their jobs.

Nearly 600 Harleysville associates, agents, and community members joined in the celebration.

While some associates will relocate off campus during the renovations, everyone should be back on campus when construction ends near the end of 2014.
