Celebrating Excellence: Wendy Martinez and Mark Weedin Honored at the 2025 PIIAC Industry Awards

A Night of Recognition

On October 23, 2025, at the PIIAC Annual Dinner held at The Inverness Denver in Englewood, CO, the 2025 Industry Awards celebrated professionals who have made an outstanding impact on the Colorado insurance community. These awards recognize dedication, leadership, and service excellence—and this year, two members of the Weedin Agency family were among those honored.

Wendy Martinez — Account Manager of the Year

Wendy’s story is one of dedication and transformation. Originally from Saint Augustine, Florida, she relocated to Colorado in 2016, bringing with her a passion for service and people. After transitioning from personal to commercial insurance, Wendy quickly distinguished herself through her empathy, professionalism, and deep commitment to her clients.

What makes Wendy exceptional is her ability to turn every client relationship into a partnership. She listens carefully, advocates fiercely, and ensures each client feels protected and empowered. Her care extends beyond policy details. She brings heart and integrity to everything she does, uplifting her colleagues and clients alike.

Mark Weedin — Insurance Person of the Year

Equally inspiring is the recognition of Mark Weedin, Sales Producer at the Weedin Agency, as this year’s Insurance Person of the Year. With 17 years of industry experience, Mark has built a reputation for protecting what matters most to contractors, restaurant owners, and families across Colorado.

Before his insurance career, Mark worked as a strength and conditioning coach—a background that continues to shape his professional philosophy. His dedication to health, wellness, and mentorship extends to his role as a mentor for young athletes, reflecting his belief in building strong foundations both on and off the field. In business, Mark brings that same energy and discipline to every client relationship, fostering growth, trust, and long-term success. His leadership and passion for service are the cornerstones of his recognition this year.

Why These Awards Matter

Being honored by the PIIAC is one of the highest distinctions in Colorado’s insurance community. These awards recognize individuals who embody excellence in client care, innovation, and community impact—values at the heart of the Weedin Agency.

For us, Wendy and Mark’s accomplishments represent more than personal milestones. They’re a reflection of our shared mission: to serve clients with integrity, build genuine relationships, and contribute positively to the communities we live and work in.
