A Message from the President

It was wonderful to spend time with our fellow agents and carrier partners at the Convention in August!  I am appreciative of being elected President for the coming year.  I get the pleasure of following Mike Sanford in this position.  Mike did an amazing job of setting up PIA VA/DC for financial stability to expand and grow during the coming year.

During this coming year, I look forward to working with each of you to grow our membership. I'm hoping that together we can share with other agents and prospects the importance of quality professional education, legislative representation and superior membership services of the PIA, and learn how to incorporate virtual reality into our daily business.

The PIA VA/DC Board and staff is here to work with and support you.  Please feel free to contact any one of us with your questions or concerns.

Together we will face the challenges of Independent Agents and Carrier Partners as we all navigate our changing business.

Enjoy October with the beautiful colors, and Happy Halloween!
