Western National Insurance Group today announced that April Goodin, Executive Vice President and CEO of the Big I Minnesota, has been named Western National’s 2023 President’s Award Winner.

The President’s Award is a special award given to an individual in recognition of sustained support and impactful partnership to the industry, to the Independent Agent model, and to Western National’s Group of companies. Recipients of this award embody Western National’s core values and create a positive and lasting impact in their communities and in our industry. There is only one award bestowed annually, and recipients are nominated and selected by the Senior Leadership Team at Western National.

“April has long been a tireless advocate for our industry and for Minnesota’s independent agency force,” said Rick Long, President and CEO of Western National Insurance Group. “Through the years, April has been a major part of maintaining Western National’s strong partnership with the MN Big I, and our team has been consistently impressed by April’s responsive, dedicated, and thorough approach to serving the needs of all the association’s constituents. We are delighted to have this opportunity to recognize April and the Big I.”

We could not do what we do without our agent partners or the Big I and its commitment to advocacy, continuing education, and support of the independent agent model. We look forward to our continued partnership in the years ahead.
