We are dedicated to the safety of our policyholders and their employees, our agent partners, clients, neighbors, and our own employees and their families,” said Beacon Mutual President & CEO Brian J. Spero. “That is why we are taking a proactive, protective approach to our business to minimize possible exposure and promote social distance for the best interests of all involved.  While there has been no known exposure to the coronavirus at Beacon, it is prudent to be proactive based upon what we have learned about how this illness spreads.” Limited services will still be provided at the Beacon facility in Warwick.  However, meetings scheduled with external vendors, policyholders, or agents will take place by teleconference.  In addition, Beacon is canceling Open Safety Seminars through April 6 with plans to reevaluate the safety of resuming seminars over the coming weeks.  Beacon Mutual requests that its customers, partners, and vendors reduce visits whenever possible. To manage the need for visits to Beacon's office, customers and agents are advised to take advantage of Beacon’s secure online portal [BEACONNECT](https://if.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/c/*W1Sd_DF2CLZsrW2v8PmD7kntx50/*MGJbC-vcS7kW2-4d_14pdGkV0/5/f18dQhb0Sq5B1X5DxPW6V8X4K3crMGWN1PVNf7WYC2TW1td_cl6HLbbGW2KCCyj7B_K97W1Knd-v8pLRDhW1G5NY-7FZL-mW7PnLJF2WddZJW2K9jDR8f3y5DW6dBV0s2YCdHYW5lhgkK5zD8pYW5D5x7t5xF62sW3VXNx45wZp81W8WxhnB1VbJWXW4hMqjn7jwNjqW7NMqCv2z6Hg1W2zwJLd9dSlS6W35rgCl94-4T0W7sLfyr520N2HW7v70tS2JxdJVW2ncyZ-8W1L_cW7P1-wW33FK-yMqPkxDnjZC8W8h_vtx2R0H2WW3nf11c1F1gNqW3qMt0K4cyCGsW32-MjR5mscrSW1DKDV54b_Nv_VnQTP74BK0vTN9dGZ3fvD73fW5Lj6Sr7JXTHbN6Vqs7s3-7n6W6y8hkb6dyQ50VpmpTl2dsX-KW5n3V512p8_TTW7-l3XB22TNxnV9Mb4N4ctgM_W1TD3g41nLHBRN4g7vNzmLW2JW4r5l5j6r40h4W2g95967SQtF8W6HSsks7h3WHzW7XM8ch8VggmcN6XT2YsZpcmqM9ZLhFRgwNC111) to report an injury, make online payments, or access policy documents.
