Guardian launches 2025 Broker Advisory Board

The 2025 Guardian Broker Advisory Board is comprised of a select group of representatives from firms across the country that work with our local sales offices, experience our tools and resources firsthand, and can give us guidance on ways we can improve the day-to-day capabilities that make it easier to do business with us.

The Guardian Broker Advisory Board is a partnership between Guardian and leaders from the insurance community. Our mutual goal is to share key insights and market trends impacting key constituencies. In addition, the Advisory Board provides guidance and counsel regarding Guardian’s strategy and business plans related to our products, services, compensation, marketing, and technology.

  • "Success is built on strong relationships with partners who provide guidance and support along the way. Their expertise and insights help us make informed decisions that drive best in class products and solutions for our customers.”
