She added, “I am very pleased to have been afforded this recognition from NAPW, and I believe the honor belongs to our entire team at Knight.” She added, “The key to any successful company is growth, but it needs to be done correctly.  Knight’s top priority is and will always be our clients.”

She continued, “We are pleased to have a client retention rate of over 98% which we truly appreciate, but never take for granted.  Each year we strive to improve on our service, products and added value in order to maintain or even better these ratios.  Our focus has always been on pursuing clients who can see the overall cost of risk and do not view insurance as a commodity.  This type of client fits perfectly into our service model and allows us the opportunity to build and maintain a program that significantly enhances their bottom line which then cultivates a very long term partnership.”

Ms. Lanza added, “NAPW provides excellent resources for women in business. We have found it to be an invaluable resource.”
