They shared their decision to become a Keystone partner and encouraged others to join them. While the resources and opportunities within Keystone are unlimited, the real success is quite simple – the people.” “After lots of discussion and interaction with Keystone staff and Keystone agency partners, the decision to join their community became an easy one,” said Jeff Ascher, Coverra president. “As a Keystone partner agency, we feel strongly that we can improve on our two primary objectives – providing the highest level of service and cutting-edge solutions for our clients, as well as providing the best opportunities for our employees to thrive and advance their careers.” **About Coverra Insurance Services –** Coverra Insurance Services began in 1984 and today employs 25 insurance professionals. The growing agency has expertise in several commercial industries including public transportation. CEO Gary Ascher, who started the agency from scratch for Western Federal Savings and Loan and then bought the agency, has served in multiple community leadership positions including the Kiwanis and Jaycees.
