Celebrating Excellence: Josh McManigal Named 2025 YIP of the Year

At LG Insurance Agency, we’ve always believed that the strength of our business lies in the people behind it—and few people embody that belief more than Josh McManigal, a cornerstone of our commercial insurance team and one of the earliest members of the agency.

This month, we’re proud to celebrate a milestone achievement:
Josh has been named the 2025 Young Insurance Professionals (YIP) of the Year.

This honor recognizes rising leaders who elevate the insurance industry through professionalism, knowledge, community involvement, and a drive to move the industry forward. Josh fits that description in every way.

From Employee #2 to Industry Leader

“Josh has been with me since the early days of the Agency as basically employee #2. Josh has grown into a leader in the office as well as within the PIA ranks and the NJ Young Insurance Professionals. 👏 Congratulations Josh on winning the 2025 YIP of the Year Award! We are extremely proud of you for this honor!”
— Aaron Levine, Founder, LG Insurance Agency

Josh’s journey is woven into the fabric of LG Insurance Agency. Joining when the agency was still taking shape, he played a key role in building out the commercial side of the business—developing processes, elevating service standards, and reinforcing the agency’s reputation for expertise and authenticity.

As the agency grew, so did Josh. Clients rely on him not just for coverage, but for guidance, strategy, and clear communication. Colleagues look to him as a mentor and resource. And industry organizations—from PIA National to NJYIP—see him as a rising leader committed to shaping the future of insurance.

A Trusted Advisor on the Commercial Side

Business owners today need more than a policy—they need a partner who understands their risks, operations, and long-term goals. That’s where Josh stands out.

His approach is simple:
Ask the right questions. Understand the business. Build the right protection. Stay accessible.

Whether he’s working with contractors, retail operations, tech startups, property managers, or regional organizations, Josh brings both expertise and empathy to every relationship. He treats every commercial client as a long-term partner, not a transaction.

Leadership Beyond the Office

Josh’s involvement extends well beyond LG Insurance Agency. Within the Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) network and the New Jersey Young Insurance Professionals, he has become a respected voice—advocating for industry education, networking, and the development of young talent.

His YIP of the Year recognition reflects years of dedication to advancing both his own career and the broader insurance community.

A Well-Deserved Honor

The 2025 YIP of the Year Award is more than a title—it’s an acknowledgment of Josh’s character, commitment, and contribution to the industry. For those of us at LG Insurance Agency, it’s also a moment of gratitude and celebration.

We are proud to have Josh on our team, proud of the leader he has become, and excited to see what the future holds for him.

Congratulations, Josh—this recognition is well deserved.
