BOARDMAN, Ohio -- Ray Kashmiry, president of R. Kashmiry and Associates, announced Thursday that Joseph Ignazio Insurance will merge with his firm effective July 1.
Joseph A. Ignazio, who has spent more than 25 years in the insurance industry, will join the Kashmiry firm as an account executive.
"This merger represents a pooling of the expertise of two major firms in an effort to market employer group benefits as well as for the self-employed and those who are Medicare eligible," Kashmiry says.
Kashmiry says his firm, established in 1978, represents many statewide group organizations and is the exclusive marketing company for the HBA/BIA of Ohio. The firm also serves groups and individuals throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
In preparation for the Affordable Health Care Act, Kasmiry says the firm has designed a page on its website addressing current requirements under the new law.
In addition to its headquarters here, R. Kashmiry and Associates operates sales offices in Akron, Elyria and Columbus.
