2024 dividend declared for the ChamberChoice business insurance program

Program has returned nearly $13.1 million in dividends over 12 years

Chambers of Commerce Service Corporation (CCSC) is pleased to announce that Penn National Insurance has declared a 1% dividend for the ChamberChoice Business Insurance program. Members, who placed their insurance coverage with Penn National Insurance during the 2022/2023 program year and remained active policyholders as of April 30, 2024, will receive a dividend check during the month of June. This year’s dividend totaled over $222,000. Over the past 12 years, Penn National Insurance has returned an average of 5% in dividends each year, and an aggregate total of $13.1 million to the business community.

The ChamberChoice Business Insurance program is just one of many benefits that CCSC offers its member Chambers. The partnership between Penn National Insurance and CCSC was designed to provide a value added membership benefit that would help Chambers attract and retain members.

An important aspect of this group insurance program is preventing loss and controlling claims costs. Since dividends are based on the group’s collective loss experience, a business that may have experienced a significant loss may still be eligible to receive a dividend.

The program is sold exclusively through local, independent agents who can offer chamber members a variety of coverages and pricing on property and casualty insurance, including business owners, commercial auto, property, general liability, inland marine and workers’ compensation. Dividends are paid on all of these coverages. In addition, through safety consulting, Penn National Insurance and local independent insurance agencies encourage member businesses to develop safety practices to substantially reduce or eliminate workplace injuries.
