Insurance Hall of Fame

Insurance Hall of Fame

The Insurance Hall of Fame is an international list of business leaders in the insurance field. It was founded in 1957 and now has more than 100 inductees; it is kept by the University of Alabama in the United States. Its first inductee was Benjamin Franklin presumably for his efforts in establishing fire insurance companies in Philadelphia. The founder of GEICO, Leo Goodwin, Sr. is also on the list.
