🎉✂️ Celebrating Fortaleza Insurance – A New Chapter Built on Strength, Family, and Community! 🛡️🏡
The San Dimas Chamber of Commerce was honored to celebrate Fortaleza Insurance and its founder, Susan Marsilio, with a wonderful ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 28th! 🎀🎉
With more than 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, Susan brings not only her professional expertise but also a heartfelt mission to help families and business owners protect what matters most.
During the celebration, Susan shared the personal inspiration behind Fortaleza Insurance and her family's deep roots in San Dimas. With her father-in-law having previously operated an insurance office in the community, San Dimas has always held a special place in her family's heart.
💙 "Fortaleza" means "strength" in Spanish, representing resilience, protection, and the courage to keep moving forward. Inspired by her family's experiences, Susan founded Fortaleza Insurance with a commitment to providing security, peace of mind, and personalized service to those she serves.
Although Fortaleza Insurance operates as a fully virtual agency, Susan remains committed to the traditional values of a neighborhood insurance agent, offering convenient service through phone, text, video, and online communication while maintaining meaningful personal relationships.
