Affinity Group
Underwriters manages FringeMark on behalf of the insurer, Markel Insurance Company. AGU is
an independent company which creates and operates specialty insurance products for
associations, employers and affinity groups.
National
Newspaper Association's FringeMark program is administered by Towers Affinity Benefit
Services (TABS), a division of Towers Administrators, Inc. TABS is a strategic alliance
venture of Affinity Group Underwriters, Glen Allen, VA, and Towers Administrators, New
York, NY. It was developed to share resources and provide better customer service to
clients of both companies.
AGU was
founded in 1997 by former executives of major insurance carriers. Towers has been in the
association administration business since 1966. The principals and staff of both companies
have extensive and diverse experience in the insurance business in general and the affinity
group business in particular. Affinity groups are not a sideline with AGU - they are the
company’s core market. AGU is truly a "niche" company, clearly focused on
identifying and responding to the special needs of affinity groups and their members.
