Chalmers Insurance Group has implemented a Community Champion role where they help bridge the gap between Chalmers’ work and the needs of their neighbors.
Additionally, they have been working on a podcast called The Community Cast where they feature local leaders in their communities and give them a chance to share their successes, lessons learned, and how they pay it forward.
“We are extremely grateful to Chalmers for their continued support of the Gorham BackPack Program,” said Heather Whitaker, GMS alternative education teacher. “Funds donated by Chalmers will be used to purchase food items for our Weekend Bags. We have seen an increase in participants this year and greatly appreciate Chalmers’ donation.”

Chalmers believes that how they do business is just as important as the business they do. That is why they created a Community Champion in each office. Carissa Chipman, in the Gorham office, who fills that role, is passionate about her community and helping bridge the gap between Chalmers’ work and the needs of her neighbors.
