MEET OUR FOUNDER
EG Bowman was founded by Ernesta Procope in 1953 as the first black woman-owned insurance brokerage in the country and has been a leading presence in the insurance industry for over 70 years. Ernesta Procope was a trailblazer in the insurance community, creating innovative insurance solutions that provided insurance coverage to underserved communities.
Mrs. Procope was also a founding sponsor of the FAIR (Fair Access to Insurance Requirements) plan, which has helped homeowners in high-risk areas across the US secure adequate property insurance coverage since 1968.
