Keenan Pool Solutions

Keenan is a true pioneer when it comes to public agency insurance pools. We established the first statewide property and liability pools in 1986. Since that time, we have continued to build on our experience and create some of the most successful pools in the country.

Insurance pools can provide public agencies with benefits such as pricing stability and purchasing leverage. Keenan can help you decide if joining a pool is right for your organization.
