Kevin and Jennifer Trapani

  • Nominated by: United Way of the Greater Triangle
  • Recap: Kevin and Jennifer Trapani are engaged community leaders who believe adamantly that each of us has a responsibility to lead from where we stand. They are active proponents of the power of business as a force for creating positive social change, rebuilding social trust and—where necessary—upending the status quo. The Trapani’s are co-founders of The Redwoods Group, Inc. which provides insurance, risk management, and claims management services. It assists clients with human, property, reputation, and financial risk management services. The Redwoods is founded on the business philosophy, “serve others”. This is predicated on the belief that no business can succeed in a community that is failing. Thank you Trapanis for all you do for the Triangle and surrounding areas and the work of United Way!
