For Women's History Month, Kinneman Insurance's principal agent and agency owner, Virginia Kinneman, was asked to serve on a panel of local women business leaders in Alexandria, VA.

In 1997, when Virginia started the business, less than 10% of insurance agencies were owned by women. The percentage of independent agencies owned by women has since grown to 27%, per the Professional Insurance Association.
