SCHERERVILLE, IN, February 01, 2023 /24-7press release/ — Kelly A. Maki was included in the Marquis Who’s Who. As in all biographical volumes of the Marquis Who’s Who, the individuals profiled are selected using current reference values. Factors such as position, notable achievements, visibility and notoriety in a field are all considered during the selection process.
An award-winning insurance agent and owner of Maki Insurance Group, Ms. Maki is characterized by her expertise, dedication and outstanding customer service. Since founding her firm in 2013, she has set herself apart from the competition, receiving numerous awards: first place in Best of the Region for an Insurance Agent for 2022 and second place for 2021, a Founders Award from Erie Insurance, and a nomination for the Most Influential Women in Northwest Indiana for 2022.
Ironically, Ms. Maki’s impetus to start her own company came from a professional setback; In 2012, she was fired from her position as a consumer products specialist at Sentry Insurance. Encouraged by her husband, she decided to start her own business, drawing on her extensive network and referrals from mortgage companies and lenders. She started from scratch and successfully built her own business, an achievement she credits to the hard work and support of those around her.

As an ongoing commitment to her profession, she is a member of the Professional Insurance Agents and the Schererville Chamber of Commerce. In the coming years, she hopes to expand her business and build a larger building.
Outside of work, Ms. Maki devotes herself to civic advocacy in her community. During the pandemic, she helped families in need by paying out student meal credits at a local school and donating $500 McDonald’s gift cards at Christmas. She donates to Northwest Indiana Cancer Kids, Girls on the Run, and other charities. She is married and has two children. She enjoys watching her children’s sporting events and loves to travel.
