LANSING, MI – The Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) is proud to recognize Brogan as its 2026 Agency of the Year, honoring the family-owned agency for its continued dedication to finding innovative insurance solutions and advocating for policies that enhance purchasing power for Michigan’s small businesses.

Based in East Lansing, Brogan is a 90-year old insurance and investment agency with a long history of serving Michigan employers and individuals, offering tailored insurance solutions, employee benefits, and investment planning. Over the years, Brogan has built a strong reputation for helping employers navigate employee benefits and insurance decisions with a personalized, strategic approach.  

“Brogan represents the kind of agency partnership that makes a real difference for small businesses,” said Kellie Neirynck, Senior Director of Products & Services at SBAM. “Their service-first approach and dedication to Michigan’s smaller employers make them incredibly deserving of this recognition.”

“We’re proud to be honored by SBAM. As a small employer ourselves, we know firsthand the difficult decisions that must be made to keep the doors open,” said Greg Brogan. “The tough conversations are not theoretical—they are conversations happening every day in boardrooms, break rooms, and kitchen tables across Michigan. We will continue advocating for those who are most affected by the inflated costs of insurance, and supporting and encouraging other Michigan entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses.” 

Brogan’s recognition as SBAM’s 2026 Agency of the Year reflects both its strong performance and its ongoing commitment to Michigan’s small business community. SBAM values partners who not only deliver strong business results, but who also help advance the success and stability of Michigan’s small business community.
