E. GLENN GILTZ JOINS NORTHERN INSURING

E. Glenn Giltz joined Northern Insuring, becoming President in 1941. He opened the Plattsburgh office on Clinton Street in 1958. An outstanding businessman and prominent community leader, he led the company until his passing in 1985.

“I am extremely proud of our team, strategic plan and creative approach to problem solving. At Northern Insuring Agency we don’t 'sell' insurance, we are advocates for our clients, educators about insurance and risk managers for the middle market clients we represent.”
