On this Small Business Saturday, let's come together to support our local entrepreneurs and small businesses that are the backbone of our community. You can help your community thrive by shopping small today and every day. Below are just a few ways that shopping small can have a big impact:     1.    Supports your local economy - For every $100 spent at a local business, $68 goes back into your community  2.    Supports job creation - Small businesses create 2 out of every 3 new jobs  4.    Helps give a community character - Small businesses offer unique and local products #SmallBusinessSaturday #ShopLocal

From Mumbai to Manhattan, employees around the world celebrated Diwali with Markel Asian Professionals (MAP), our Employee Resource Group this month. We learned more about the Festival of Lights, ate some delicious authentic Indian cuisine and participated in cultural activities. Thank you, MAP for hosting these wonderful events! #WeAreMarkel #Diwali

Giving back to our communities is an important part of who we are. Earlier this month, we hosted our annual Volunteer Fair at our Richmond office, where 11 local non-profits shared their missions and gathered sign-ups for upcoming volunteer opportunities. A big thank you to everyone who participated! #WeAreMarkel #MarkelStyle

With a new generation entering the workforce, it's crucial for companies to adapt. This change leads to more collaboration, diverse ideas and increased innovation.

In honor of Veterans Day, Markel's Veteran's Network (MVN) hosted a special event in our Richmond office on Wednesday. Ron Slone, MVN Support Lead, shared his personal story as a Veteran living with post-traumatic stress, offering insights into the challenges he's faced and how Markel has supported his transition from active military to a career in insurance. We also heard from Tony Markel, Bryan W. Sanders and Phill Fong with Operation Healing Forces on how they are continuing to support Veterans. #WeAreMarkel

Throughout this month, you may have seen some of our employees looking a bit different. We’re proud to be participating in Movember, a global charity that’s changing the face of men’s health. Whether you’re starting from scratch like our own Alex Martin, a seasoned moustache grower, or taking on your own challenge (walk, run, or any adventure!) it’s inspiring to see so many of our employees getting involved. Together, we can all make a difference. #WeAreMarkel #Movember
