Nixon & Lindstrom Insurance

Last month we opened up our office rooftop to the Missouri State University Women in Business club.

The evening featured a panel of women business leaders who talked about their careers, the decisions that shaped them, and what they’ve learned along the way. Students then had the floor for an open Q&A.

We were glad to provide the space for a conversation like this. Thank you to our panelists for their time and honesty, and to the club’s leadership for organizing such a worthwhile night.

Happy Halloween from the Nixon & Lindstrom team! 🎃

Tonight's a fun one with costumes, candy, and neighborhoods full of kids out having a good time. If you're driving through town this evening, please slow down and watch for trick-or-treaters crossing between parked cars, especially once it gets dark.

Looking out for our neighbors is part of what protecting this community means to us, on Halloween and every other day of the year. Have a safe night out there!

Happy Halloween from the team at Nixon & Lindstrom!

Halloween is good for business. More people is stopping in, more foot traffic on the sidewalk, more energy in the neighborhood, but all that extra activity comes with extra risk.

Decorations with cords running across walkways. Wet leaves on the entrance. A few extra kids weaving through the aisles. Any of it can lead to a slip-and-fall claim, and most business owners don't think about it until it's already happened.

This is exactly what general liability insurance is built for. See what’s included ➡️ http://nixonins.com/business-insurance/general-liability-insurance .

Meet Kayla Pfitzner — Employee Benefits Specialist at Nixon & Lindstrom.

Kayla helps business owners across Missouri put together employee benefits packages that support their team without overwhelming their budget, whether that's group medical, dental, vision, or life coverage. She takes the time to understand a business's goals first, then builds a benefits strategy around what actually matters to that company and its employees.
That kind of hands-on approach is what makes a real difference when it's time for open enrollment.

Last month, we hosted members of Gamma Iota Sigma - Alpha Lambda Chapter - Missouri State University the university's insurance and risk management fraternity for a networking event on our rooftop here at Nixon & Lindstrom.

It's always energizing to spend an evening with students who are genuinely curious about this industry, asking real questions about what the work looks like day-to-day and what a career path in insurance can turn into. Conversations like this are exactly why we keep showing up for events like this one.

If you're a student exploring what's next, or just curious about the industry, we'd love to talk.

Last month, several members of our Nixon & Lindstrom team attended Care to Learn's 5th Annual School Soirée here in Springfield.

Care to Learn partners with school districts across Missouri to meet students' emergent health, hunger, and hygiene needs, the kind of everyday gaps that can quietly get in the way of a child's ability to succeed in school. Evenings like this one help fund that work and bring the community together around it.

We're grateful for organizations like Care to Learn and proud to support the work they do for kids across our area.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, and it's worth taking a minute to ask yourself a simple question: if something happened to you, would your family be financially okay?

Life insurance isn't one-size-fits-all. The two most common paths are term life, which provides coverage for a set period like 10, 20, or 30 years, and whole life, which lasts your entire lifetime and builds cash value along the way. Each works differently, and the right fit depends on your goals, your budget, and your stage of life.

Not sure which one makes sense for your situation? That's exactly what we're here for. Let's talk through your options together.

Meet Carmine Ingenito, Commercial Insurance Specialist at Nixon & Lindstrom.

Carmine works with business owners across Missouri to build coverage that actually holds up when something goes wrong, from general liability and commercial property to the more specialized risks that come with running a growing company. His approach is straightforward: understand the business first, then design a policy around the risks that matter most.

Clients count on Carmine for more than just paperwork. They count on him to be in their corner when a claim happens.

That's the kind of partnership that keeps businesses coming back to Nixon & Lindstrom.

September is National Preparedness Month, and here in the Ozarks, severe weather is a year-round concern for business owners, not just a spring problem.

Having a plan matters. So does knowing your commercial property policy actually reflects what you'd need to recover from a tornado, hailstorm, or flood. That includes your building, equipment, and inventory, plus whether your policy helps cover lost income if a storm forces you to temporarily close.

A quick call to your agent now can save a lot of stress later. We're here to help you review your coverage and close any gaps before storm season catches your business off guard.
