March Meeting Recap

We had a great panel discussion with Richard and John Zehr of Zehr Insurance as well as Steve Wagler of Josslin Insurance about personal and business insurance. They spoke about emerging trends, things to look for in policies, and why rates seem to be increasing fairly rapidly. Thank you to Richard, John and Steve for taking the time to update us on your industry!
