RE:                 ERIE Earns 2010 PIA Company Award of Excellence

I’m pleased to announce that ERIE has earned the 2010 PIA Company Award of Excellence. This prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA), the nation’s largest organization of independent agents.

The Company Award of Excellence honors an organization for its commitment to and support of independent agents. Considerations include how a company has improved the business environment for professional insurance agents and how the company has encouraged use of independent agents as the preferred distribution system for insurance products.

To be eligible for the Company Award of Excellence, a company must first receive a state-level award of excellence based on a nomination by an agent and PIA member. ERIE received this recognition in June in Indiana, following nomination by Indiana Agent Jim Mansfield.

This award is a reflection of our long-standing commitment to independent agents. Effectively supporting our relationship with you is an integral part of our corporate strategy. As you know, our strategy is focused on developing our core businesses and building our capabilities for the mutual benefit of The ERIE and the Agents who represent us.

Thank you.

Re:      ERIE Named In 2010 Ward’s 50 Top Performing Insurance Companies

I’m pleased to announce that ERIE has been named to the 2010 Ward’s 50 top performing insurance companies.  Ward Group is a leading provider of benchmarking and best practices services for the insurance industry. This is the third consecutive year that ERIE has been named to the Ward’s 50.

Each year, The Ward Group analyzes the financial performance of more than 3,000 U.S.-based property-casualty insurances and identifies the top performers.  According to the Ward Group, the 50 best companies excel at balancing financial safety, consistency and performance over a five-year period.

The recognition is significant third-party acknowledgement of ERIE’s consistent focus on managing costs and efficient day to day operations.  The Ward’s 50 designation identifies ERIE as a financially strong company with the ability to grow while maintaining strong capital positions and underwriting results.  To achieve this growth, we will continue to enhance the way we manage our relationship with our strong agency producers.

Thank you for your contributions to this achievement and keep up the good work.  By remaining committed to our Above All in SERVICE philosophy we achieve preeminence in execution and operating results.
