Union Bay Risk Advisors Connects at Big I Maryland

Lancaster-based brokerage hosts cocktail hour, deepens Mid-Atlantic industry relationships

LANCASTER, PA, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Union Bay Risk Advisors LLC, an independent, full-service property and casualty insurance brokerage, attended and hosted a cocktail hour at the 2026 Big I Maryland Annual Conference & Showcase, held Aug. 26-27 at the Hyatt Place Kent Narrows on Kent Island, MD. The Union Bay Risk Advisors team participated in the conference's two-day program of education sessions and industry networking for independent agents, carriers, and industry leaders across Maryland.

For a rapidly growing brokerage that specializes in acquiring smaller, family-run agencies, participating in industry events offers direct access to the independent agency owners, carriers, and regional leaders who share Union Bay's commitment to community-focused, relationship-driven service. Staying connected to that network keeps Union Bay rooted in the values that make independent insurance agencies worth preserving.

"Events like Big I Maryland are where meaningful industry relationships take root, and hosting a cocktail hour gave us the chance to sit down with agents and partners in a setting that encourages real conversation," said Patrick Sullivan, President of Union Bay Risk Advisors. "We left Kent Island energized by the connections we made and proud to be part of such a strong, engaged community of independent insurance professionals."

The cocktail hour gave Union Bay Risk Advisors direct access to Maryland's independent agency community, creating space for honest, productive conversations that build lasting professional relationships. Those relationships extend well beyond the conference floor. Union Bay Risk Advisors completed its 18th acquisition with the addition of Arlington Agency in June, expanding its reach across the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest and deepening its investment in the communities it serves.
