Opportunities Keep Coming
As you know this year continues to keep us on our toes, and I’m reminded of the enormous change and uncertainty that swept through our industry when the ACA was first introduced. As I walked in the door starting my business, many were running for the exit. To me change and uncertainty equal opportunity. Today opportunities keep coming, and our association provides the tools and resources we need to make the most of it.
SAHU has been a part of my journey as an independent agent and small business owner since I started down this road more than 12 years ago. It is fitting that I follow in the footsteps of our Immediate Past President Helen Ornellas. I met Helen at a SAHU event as I was starting my new business. She offered a much-needed perspective, which helped me persevere through the first few years when many falter and leave the industry. Helen demonstrates daily one of the foundational benefits of joining this association, the chance to connect with colleagues to educate and encourage one another.
