The GEICO team is actively involved in numerous community activities including the Charleston Area Alliance, the Chambers of Commerce for Beckley, Huntington and Putnam Counties, and the BNI-Power Chapter.
Bischof is also actively involved in fundraising efforts for several local schools and is a participant in The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and the Alzheimer's Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
"We are pleased that Matt will be working with our customers in West Virginia," said Robin Burdick, GEICO vice president. "GEICO has a lot to offer in terms of community outreach and support as well as our professional services."
