Sponsor Spotlight: Gregory & Appel Insurance

In this Sponsor Spotlight, we spoke with Andrew Appel, president and CEO of Gregory & Appel Insurance.

Tell us about your organization and the role it plays in the community?
As a major employer, the Central Indiana community has supported us since 1884. We view it as part of our corporate obligation to be based in Indianapolis' Center Township and to give 10% of annual profits back to our community.

Why does your organization support WFYI?
We are committed to supporting WFYI because their diversity in programming truly illustrates the tremendous breadth of stories to be told in Central Indiana.

What role does public media play in your life?
When I'm not listening to music with my children, I am usually listening to public radio. Beyond conveying the news, WFYI shares stories that you wouldn't hear anywhere else.

What are some initiatives that your organization is looking forward to that support our community?
We've been fortunate to be supported by the community for five generations now. As part of our move into the historic Gibson Building, our new headquarters in Center Township, we've commissioned an exhibit titled "Generations" to help artists from around the Central Indiana community share their own family generational stories.

Which is your favorite WFYI program, and why?
Locally, Indiana Week in Review and from a national standpoint, Frontline.
