JULY 8, 2020

Waterville, ME – May 11, 2020 - Bill Mitchell, President & CEO of GHM Insurance, was recently
selected to receive the Rough Notes Community Service Award. Chosen from over 35,000 independent insurance agencies from across the country, Mitchell’s commitment to community service is reflected in the Rough Notes award. 

Mitchell was nominated for the Rough Notes Community Service Award by Ken Walsh the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club YMCA of the Waterville Area at the Alfond Youth and Community Center (AYCC). Walsh highlights many of the ways that Mitchell has given back including being a volunteer project manager for the construction of the AYCC’s current building to hosting the annual GHM Golf Classic to benefit the AYCC’s after school programs. According to Walsh, “unlike some donors who simply lend their name to an event and appear once the work is done to accept congratulations, Bill runs this (golf tournament) event from start to finish, we just show up to accept the check on the 18th hole. The grand total of the event’s contributions tops $500,000 to date.” Read more in the Rough Notes’ digital Publication here. 

“I am very grateful and humbled in receiving the Rough Notes Community Service Award. GHM is very fortunate to have a great group of employees who work hard every day to deliver exceptional service, and who volunteer time supporting many local organizations. And equally important we have an amazing customer base that supports GHM with their business, which allows us to give back to the communities in which we live and work. My late father, Paul Mitchell, was my mentor, who always urged me to give back to the community whenever possible”, said Bill Mitchell.

GHM has been serving the insurance needs of Maine families and business owners since 1901 through representing several of the finest insurance carriers in the marketplace, who also support a wide range of non-profit organizations across the State of Maine.
