At Compass Insurance, our core values—Integrity, Relationships, and Growth—guide the way we do business, support our teammates, and serve our communities. Each month, we recognize one team member who goes above and beyond in demonstrating these values in both their work and daily life.
For June, we’re proud to announce Wil Koester as our Core Value Award Winner. Wil’s positivity, authenticity, and commitment to evolving in his career make him a standout example of what it means to live our values.
Relationships
If you know Wil, you know that his positive attitude is infectious. Ask him how he’s doing, and you won’t just get an answer—you’ll get a smile, a laugh, and an outlook that lifts everyone around him. His energy and optimism are a big part of why he’s so well loved by coworkers, clients, and company reps alike.
Wil builds genuine relationships with everyone he interacts with. Whether it’s a customer he’s served for decades or a colleague he chats with in the hallway, he leaves a lasting impression. He supports his coworkers with kindness and encouragement, always looking for ways to build others up.
Integrity
Wil’s integrity is second to none. He is deeply genuine, trustworthy, and consistent—someone whose word means something. There’s never any question about where Wil stands or whether he’ll follow through.
More than that, Wil is a role model, especially to younger team members, showing that professionalism and personal faith can go hand-in-hand. His quiet leadership and strong moral compass reflect a deep commitment to doing the right thing, both in and out of the office.
Growth
Growth doesn’t stop with age, and Wil is living proof of that. In a world that’s constantly changing, he has shown that it’s never too late to adapt and improve.
Even as a seasoned professional—and a proud septuagenarian—Wil has embraced change and continued to evolve with new ways of doing things. Over his seven years with Compass, he’s welcomed updated processes and technology with an open mind and a willingness to learn, setting a great example for all of us.
A True Example
Wil exemplifies Integrity, Relationships, and Growth every day. His positive spirit, dedication to his work, and care for the people around him make him an invaluable part of the Compass team.
Congratulations, Wil! Thank you for your steady leadership, your encouraging presence, and your commitment to doing things the right way. We’re grateful to have you on our team.
Stay tuned as we continue to celebrate the remarkable employees who make Compass Insurance thrive!
