Red Bank and Trenton, NJ - November 17, 2008: New Jersey Chamber of Commerce President Joan Verplanck and High Point Safety and Insurance Management Corporation President Jim Tignanelli announced the formation of a new auto insurance partnership. Under the new Chamber Auto Insurance Program ("CAIP"), employees of Chamber member companies, a total population of 500,000, are now eligible for specially discounted personal auto insurance policies to be sold by High Point.
"In these tough economic times, the Chamber is pleased to be able to partner with High Point Auto Insurance to reduce costs for employers, as well as their employees and families," said Verplanck. "We are partnering with High Point because they have a great reputation, offer excellent rates and have an impressive record of customer service."
Companies are experiencing an increasing demand for voluntary employee benefits from employees. The Chamber and High Point will market this new benefit to member companies through a number of cooperative efforts including direct mail, web site promotion, worksite enrollment, and Chamber events.
"High Point is thrilled to be associated with the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce," stated Tignanelli. "This powerful partnership allows us to offer exceptional value to Chamber members through our vast array of products. With what is going on with the economy, it is important to relieve some of the financial burden placed on the employers and employees of our state. Our partnership will result in lower insurance costs for thousands of New Jerseyans, so they can spend money on other necessities."
