STARKVILLE, Miss.—A significant investment from Farm Bureau Insurance, one of the largest property and casualty insurance companies in the country, has secured the organization as the Mississippi State University Alumni Association’s official partner for auto, home and life insurance.
The partnership comes through a three-year sponsorship commitment from Mississippi Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company (SFBCIC). Headquartered in Jackson, the organization has agents in all 82 counties across the state, as well as operations in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina.
The strategic alliance, which promotes Farm Bureau Insurance as an exclusive partner, will also benefit the MSU Alumni Association as proceeds from the commitment will support alumni activities and events.
“We are excited to welcome Farm Bureau as the official insurance partner of the MSU Alumni Association,” said Jeff Davis, executive director of the MSU Alumni Association. “Farm Bureau is a first-class company that serves thousands of Bulldog policyholders, and we are grateful for all they do to support Mississippi State.”
Farm Bureau has served Mississippi and communities around the Southeast for more than 70 years. It is rated A+Superior by A.M. Best Company, a distinction held by less than 20 percent of property and casualty companies. The company believes in supporting the communities it is a part of and has been a proud supporter of MSU for many years.
“The mission of the MSU Alumni Association is to foster a connection between its alumni and the university. As we work to uphold that charge, we’re proud to be able to partner with local businesses, like Farm Bureau, whose reputation of support for our university and our shared constituents further underscores our efforts.” said Leanna Smith, assistant director of alumni partnerships and business development. “Bulldog alumni can now benefit from Farm Bureau’s quality service and insurance offerings, as well as the enhanced alumni programs supported through this valuable partnership.”
Mississippi Farm Bureau Insurance stands among several companies with which the association has formed an official partnership to offer enhanced services to MSU’s growing alumni base—which currently stands at approximately 157,000 members. The company is available online at www.msfbins.com.
