About us
Summit provides independent insurance agents and their clients with market-leading workers’ comp insurance and elite customer service. We’re growing, currently serving more than 7,000 independent agents and 31,000 policyholders across 17 states in the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic. Our strength comes from a single-minded focus on workers’ comp and a commitment to long-term customer relationships. Summit is who you turn to when you need a specialist who not only knows workers’ comp but also gets to know your business and your priorities. Our field team members are located in every state in which we operate. We’re not a faceless corporation with distant headquarters. We’re part of the fabric of local communities. As the world becomes increasingly impersonal, Summit offers a customer experience based on relationships and personal service. You’ll always be able to speak to a real human being.

You’ll get better answers from real experts and industry veterans who know workers’ comp, your business, your customers, and your region. 3) More Commitment. You’ll have collaborators who go the extra mile to serve you and who are willing to solve problems that others usually can’t.

When an experience mod gets too high, many workers’ comp carriers draw a hard line and decline the business. Summit asks a better question: “Why is the mod high—and can it be improved?” High mods don’t scare us. Here’s what we’ve proven: When commercial agents help clients understand how safety, claims handling, and return‑to‑work directly shape the mod, they stop only being quote providers and start becoming strategic advisors. What if the mod were easier to explain and easier to improve? Leading to lower costs, safer workplaces, and long-term client relationships. We help policyholders turn high mods into long‑term wins. And that’s why agents trust us with their toughest accounts. 👉 Learn how Summit helps agents and clients take control of the mod: https://lnkd.in/eAi8SsdT

We’re excited to welcome two new business developers who will support and strengthen our independent agency relationships across Oklahoma. Austin Burgess | Business Developer With more than two decades of sales experience, including several years in the insurance agency space, Austin Burgess brings a deeply relationship‑driven approach to Summit’s sales team. Based in Tulsa and originally from Wakita, he will support agencies throughout his home state. Austin attended Northern Oklahoma College and holds the Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist (CLCS) designation. “Summit has a strong reputation and culture in the industry, and I’m excited to be part of it,” he says. “I’m eager to help agencies across Oklahoma grow by connecting them with the right solutions.” Reach Austin at Austin.Burgess@summitholdings.com. Ashley Van Horn | Business Developer Ashley joins Summit with a solid foundation in sales and a strong commitment to supporting agencies throughout Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas. Born in Tucson and raised in Oklahoma, she now calls Yukon home. She holds a master’s degree in human services from East Central University and is currently working toward her Oklahoma insurance license. “What excites me the most about this role is getting out into the market, meeting agents face to face, and helping them flourish,” Ashley shares. “My goal is to become a trusted collaborator they consistently rely on when placing business.” Reach Ashley at Ashley.VanHorn@summitholdings.com. #KnowThePeopleWhoKnowWorkersComp
