Northern Insuring Agency Inc. recently relocated from Whitehall to Glens Falls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Christine Graf
\nNorthern Insuring Agency Inc. recently relocated their Whitehall office to Glens Falls. The 720-square-foot office is located at 136 Glen St. and was previously occupied by U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik.
\nStefanik relocated her Glens Falls office to 5 Warren St. in January.
\nFounded in 1933 in Au Sable Forks, Northern Insuring Agency is a local, family-owned, independent insurance agency. They offer business, personal, and employee benefit insurance.
\n\u201cWe call it a three-legged stool. We are best known for business insurance, but it is very important to have three divisions so that people can do their one-stop shopping, as we say,\u201d said company president and CEO, Deena Giltz McCullough.
\nAccording to McCullough, the decision to move came not long after the successful relocation of their Massena office. That move took place in early 2018.
\n\u201cWe successfully moved from Massena, which is a smaller community, to Potsdam which has a lot more activity,\u201d she said. \u201cThat was a springboard for moving our office from Whitehall to Glens Falls. We realized that in the Warren and Washington county area, a lot of people travel to Glens Falls for shopping, doctor visits, those kinds of things. It is a pretty active place.\u201d
\nFor most of the company\u2019s history, its offices were located in small towns. In recent years, they consolidated operations into three locations. In addition to having branch offices in Glens Falls and Potsdam, the company has its headquarters in Plattsburgh. They employ a total of 36 people. Four of these employees are in Glens Falls.
\n\u201cWe were once in every small community,\u201d said McCullough. \u201cBut what happened over time was that technology changed and what we wanted to do was locate more in active hubs.\u201d
\nMuch of the company\u2019s growth took place under the leadership of McCullough\u2019s father and grandfather, both former presidents. Her father, Roderic Glitz, asked her to join the family business after the death of her grandfather.
\n\u201cI had just gotten married and had a husband in the Air Force,\u201d she said. \u201cMy father said, \u2018I need someone I can trust. Would you be interested in coming back?\u2019 So my husband gave up his career in the military so that I could have this career in the family business. So I joined late 1985 and became president in 2008. I\u2019m third generation and first female president and CEO. I\u2019m certainly the newer generation which is very HR focused, with a lot of strategic planning and accountability. I focus on vision and how to position the business for the future.\u201d
\nMcCullough\u2019s brother, Randy Glitz, serves as senior vice president and chief marketing officer. Her 28-year-old son, Collin, is a marketing associate.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s very rare for a business to get to the third generation,\u201d she said. \u201cWe now have a fourth generation.\u201d
\nHer father spends six months of the year in Florida but remains active in the business and serves as chairman. McCullough also credits Peter Hoffman of Glen Street Associates for helping them to find a property that met their needs.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a great location for where we want to be. It\u2019s not a huge space, but it\u2019s well laid out,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t need a huge amount of space. People are out of the office a lot meeting with clients.\u201d
\nAccording to McCullough, Northern Insuring Agency is also committed to supporting local charities.
\n\u201cWe are very philanthropic as a family,\u201d she said. \u201cWe believe in getting authentically involved in the communities we serve. It comes from a good place in our hearts.\u201d
