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!

November General Meeting Recap

December 3, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Gina Ruttan

Thanks to everyone who came out to our AGM last week. We had a financial update, as well as a discussion on our past year and plans for our future.

We’ve had an exciting 2018 with a new website, new festive lights, and new events that were run. We are looking forward to building on these in 2019.

We also had some great discussion from the members that were able to attend about the Board’s general direction. We discussed some ideas for speakers and programs we can bring to our meetings in the New Year, as well as some ideas for other events that we can run as a board. We can’t wait to bring these to life and share them with you all!

Out of these discussion, it was decided that we will play around with the timing of our meetings. For our January meeting, we have decided to move up the time by 30 minutes. Cocktails and Networking will begin at 6 p.m. with Dinner starting at 6:30. We will see how this works for our members and then make a decision on permanently changing the start time.

Lastly, I just want to remind you to keep voting for our town to win the $50,000! Voting is open until December 10. Remember you can vote once per day per IP address, so keep voting as much as you can! Vote Here!
