Lansing, MI — Accident Fund Holdings, Inc. was presented last night with the 2011 “Prosperity Driver Award” by Capital Area Michigan Works and Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LeapInc) during their “Getting the Job Done” annual dinner and awards celebration.

The Prosperity Driver Award recognizes companies that steer in the direction of success, contribute high economic impact as a job creator, bring wealth into the community through expansion and diversification efforts, and are committed to the region’s long-term prosperity through demonstrated efforts as leaders in the community. The award was accepted by Liz Haar, president and CEO of Accident Fund Holdings, Inc. and LeapInc board member.
