NYCM celebrates 125 years with historical hallway project

Edmeston-based NYCM Insurance will tomorrow celebrate a significant milestone, marking its 125th anniversary on April 11, 2024.

In recognition of the occasion, the company is set to inaugurate its newly renovated historical hallway (pictured) at its headquarters.

The renovation project, which began four years ago, aimed to expand and modernize the company’s four office locations to facilitate greater collaboration among teams. A key aspect of the initiative was to dedicate space within the Edmeston headquarters to exhibit the company’s history and evolution.

Cheryl Robinson, president/CEO of NYCM Insurance, expressed the importance of the effort to mark a historic celebration.

“We began our office renovation project four years ago with the goal of updating our four office locations to offer more room and intentional spaces for teams to collaborate,” Robinson said. “From the beginning, we also knew we wanted to showcase our history. To have a permanent space at our Edmeston headquarters to walk through and see the hard work of our employees over the years come to fruition is really special.”

The 125th-anniversary celebrations were initiated with a Super Bowl commercial in February, shot across various localities, including Sherburne and Edmeston, as well as at partner locations like the Farmers’ Museum.

Kelly Pylinski, division manager of brand management, highlighted the collaboration with the Fenimore and Farmers’ museums in Cooperstown, which enabled the company to authentically depict its origins.

“This commercial was a key part of our overall anniversary campaign, telling the story of NYCM Insurance and bringing it to life for viewers,” Pylinski said.

Looking forward, NYCM Insurance said that it is focused on enhancing customer experiences through digital innovations and expanding its outreach.

Additionally, NYCM Insurance is poised to grow its workforce. A career fair scheduled for April 10 and 11 at the Edmeston headquarters aims to recruit over 50 new team members within the next year.

“As our business continues to grow in an evolving market, our team is growing to meet that need. We are looking to add more than 50 team members over the next year, a testament to our commitment to providing genuine care to our valued customers,” Robinson said.
