Brown & Brown Insurance donated $26,666 to the Mike Molino RV Learning Center. The donation brings the company’s lifetime pledge of $200,000.
The F&I company donated in honor of Long View RV founder Fran Roberts, who passed away in 2021.
Brown & Brown Dealer Services President Mike Neal said, “The RV Learning Center continues to prove its incredible value as a source of training and education for the nation’s dealership fixed-ops personnel and we consider our contributions to be a good investment in the future of the industry.”
Fixed-operation professionals can earn certification as parts managers, parts specialists, service writers/advisors, service managers and warranty administrators through the RV Learning Center. The program also provides online courses and resources for fixed operations.
