Year in Review

from Carmen Perea

SAHU Past President 2021-2022

Now that 2022 is coming to a close, I want to reflect on our 2021-2022 Fiscal year.

These last couple of years have been challenging for all, and our industry was not immune to Covid.  We’ve all seen the impact on our industry and I’m happy to see our resiliency shine!

During this time, we at SAHU, myself and board Members continued with the work needed to keep our Association going.  We morphed in many ways, as other industries did. 

We went online with Zoom meetings and avoided in person events.  Our Crab Feed, our biggest yearly event, morphed into a drive-thru and pick up a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse, in Citrus Heights. We had many volunteers helping to launch this, and I must say, it was pretty successful, being it our first time. Fortunately for our other big yearly event, the Biz Expo, we were able to have this in person back in July, 2022.    

Another great accomplishment, which I give kudos to Helen Ornellas, Executive Director for the fiscal year and to Rosamaria Marrujo, Trusted American Insurance Agency President and current SAHU President.  They worked diligently in streamlining by automating many of the internal processes, which have made running SAHU much easier. Having the technology and updated website, has made it easier for our audience to engage with SAHU.

Our leadership approach has been to move forward with utilizing technology to our advantage and advancing our reach to our Broker community.  If you’re a member and have attended our meetings/events, you know the value our Association provides.  Share this with other Brokers!  We want to continue to grow, and with all the changes and Rosamaria’s leadership, I’m sure we will.

With that being said, perhaps you’ll consider joining the Board and giving back to your industry.  We are actively seeking a President for the next year.  If so, reach out to Rosamaria (rmarrujo@taia.us).

Thank you for allowing me to lead SAHU as this was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet more valuable brokers, carrier reps, vendors, etc. and learn so much from our great speakers during the year.
