Make an informed decision.

The decision of selecting an insurance brokerage is becoming increasingly complex in today’s world of overwhelming options and uncertain economies. With numerous providers all offering different services, it’s important to make a well-informed decision that will have a lasting impact on your business or your life.

Get the desired outcome.

To achieve the desired outcome of your needs, you should narrow your focus to certain criteria. You should take into account an insurance brokerage’s history, client references, and performance history while conducting your research. Doing research ahead of time will help you make an informed decision and get the desired outcome.

You deserve EG Bowman.

Over the past 70 years, our team of professionals have taken on a variety of clients. Starting from a small client base of personal lines including home and auto, we have since grown to service commercial lines of all sizes ranging from small and midsized businesses to municipal organizations and Fortune 500 companies. This experience has enabled us to serve our clients with the same principles of when we were founded in 1953 by Ernesta Procope. We strive to provide impeccable service, innovative insurance solutions, client dedication, and outstanding value.

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. Today, we carry on her legacy with the same commitment to our communities and our clients while continuing to uphold our company motto: “earning trust one client at a time.”
