New Summer Hours
With summer just around the corner, we’re updating our Friday office hours to better serve both you and our team.
Our new Friday hours are 8:00AM to 12:00PM, with limited coverage until 5:00PM for any urgent matters. This will take effect from 6/28/24 through 9/6/24.
As a third generation agency, family has always been extremely important to us and that includes our work family. Part of our Mission Statement reads that we will "give back to our employees..."

With this change, our team will still be available to assist you with any urgent matters. Please call 800-686-8664, email us at clientservice@tomia247.com, chat with us online by visiting tomia247.com, or use your Client Connection portal and we will ensure your needs are met promptly.
